(More PICs) Disappointment... ATE rear discs don't fit.

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

ok
from the looks of the wheel, you only need to remove a bit of metal from the 
rotor.

its easy, with the rotor installed, spin it while holding some sort of 
disc-based cutter along the edge of the hub mount. it will help to have the 
tool sitting on a jack stand or something to keep it stable. it looks like 
you only need to go about 2-3mm deep and do that for a width of about 5-6mm. 
should be a piece of cake.
