In the past, I have used etched parts for rotors with no problems at all. This is my first attempt at using part etched rotors and plastic calipers together. I am very pleased with the way that the rotors assembled. It was nice to see that they offered two version for the front rotors. Here are the parts:
Here are all of the pieces for each rotor:
These Etch cutters are the best tool I have found for etching! I love them, and they cut through thick etching very easily:
Here is a completed rotor:
So, that problem I mentioned before is that the plastic calipers do not fit the rotors very well. I cut the plastic off well enough, but I think they wanted me to keep more on the caliper. Oh well, glad I have another kit to use!

Another issue is the depth of the rotors in the wheel when assembled. This does not look accurate to me:
Here you can kind of see how deep the rotor sits in the wheel:
Here you can see the hub and the wheel together. I think I am going to remove about an 1/8th of an inch from the wheel and somehow add it to the rear of the rotor? We shall see>:
Well guys and gals, I hope you like what has been happening. I am doing my best to build fast and accurately so that the thread builds interest. I am no master, but I am trying!
