My 3 calipers only go to 6 inches and this axle flange looks to be 6&1/2 and the inside flange is maybe a 1/16 off but that’s with a tape measure. So give or takeYou could use a tape measure if you don't have dial calipers. Measure out side the axke flange
Then measure the lip inside the rotor.
A tape will get you close...you should know right away. A caliper you can be exact. I'm not thinking this is only off by a few thousands. Maybe more like an 1/8th of an inch. Let me know
The only way it can do that is if the rotor hat where the studs come through is a different thickness which would be very hard to do. That side says the rotor is true, the other side also has to be true or almost has to be since grinding down the inside would be next to impossible.Running straight as a board
No, there can only be contact between the two flat faces. As stated, put a chamfer around the edge of the axle flange and see if that helps.Do all rotors have that little lip on the inside ? I guess to help center ?
Will doNo, there can only be contact between the two flat faces. As stated, put a chamfer around the edge of the axle flange and see if that helps.
Now that I'm caught up in the thread, I have never seen a rotor with that offset on the inside. That's some bullshit right there.Will do
Well At the parts store they ask you what axle it came from so I tell him it was a 99 Ford explore, but that it has aftermarket axles shafts in it. So that’s all they have to go off of. I’m about to call Randy’s worldwide and see if they can give me the exact diameter of that axle. But to go to a parts store and try to find the right rotor, Well I don’t think I would get the customer service I needed for that.Is the other rotor like that? Measure it to the lip and measure the other axke flange.
As you said it appears it's off by a 1/16th...which in machining is a lot. 62 and 1/2 thousandths off.
It almost looks like the rotor cut on the lathe wasn't finished all the way....
Or...
Your flanges weren't turned down far enough.
Or..
Somehow...
You've got the wrong rotors.?.
If I bought some rotors from you for 8.8 axles. Do yours have that little flange inside the rotor ??Now that I'm caught up in the thread, I have never seen a rotor with that offset on the inside. That's some bullshit right there.
Ok...so that's important. Aftermarket shafts.Well At the parts store they ask you what axle it came from so I tell him it was a 99 Ford explore, but that it has aftermarket axles shafts in it.

I would say no but I haven't checked them lately and I will do that before they ship.If I bought some rotors from you for 8.8 axles. Do yours have that little flange inside the rotor ??
Can’t get anyone today at Randy’s world wide “youkon” . But I’ll keep tryingOk...so that's important. Aftermarket shafts.
You NEED to get the shaft flange proper measurement. One of them is wrong. Shaft flange or rotor. For sure!!!
ill go online in a little. ThanksI would say no but I haven't checked them lately and I will do that before they ship.
Ok...but what are your measurements?Can’t get anyone today at Randy’s world wide “youkon” . But I’ll keep trying
ill go online in a little. Thanks
Did you miss the part about the new rotor spinning true?Ok...but what are your measurements?
Is the other rotor identical to the right side? Measurment lip to lip...
Is the other axle flange same diameter as the right side?
I know you said your calipers only go to 6 inch...
Make a scribe on it. Measure to that and then the rest. It will get you damn close to exact.
Obviously one of them is wrong.
ill get back on it in the morning, i think ill pay really close attention to the axle flange and measure each one for compairon.Ok...but what are your measurements?

i may have Lou, ill have to look back .Did you miss the part about the new rotor spinning true?
You posted a video showing a brand new rotor spinning true. That tells you the axle flange is seated properly to the rotor. Not sure why any further measurements would be needed?i may have Lou, ill have to look back .
