I am still confused here.  The pic above says XW-XY "one piece" hub and rotor.  
Like Corty 351W said, this won''t fit, you need to use the two pice hub and rotor and machine the flange on the hub down to about 9 or 10mm thick then refit the rotor.

Use the part number given. Its a detachable hub type. If the studs are removed it becomes two pieces...

Hi, I am also new to this site (must be this thread)  :D  Te Jet love your work and the fact you have included part numbers. You give a straight answer to a previously complicated question. Just wondering what would differ if you wanted to do this to a TC Corty ?

Look forward to your reply !

TE_JET who wrote the thread  doesnt come to these forums anymore and work circumstances has him in a position which may make it difficult to sell you the brackets. i'll pass on the infdo to him and see if he is able to help.

Get the hoppers kit Beautiful bit of gear and really reasonable considering the improvement and extra confidence it gives.
