[s-cars] Some E-S2 pictures on Motorgeek

Fri Nov 5 08:36:45 PDT 2010

I've used the UFO hubs for a 5-lug conversion on my '90 CQ.
They have to be turned down to the diameter of the standard hub, then
you need to make a ring to keep the rotor hub-centric since the feature
on the hub that does this for the UFO rotor is not deep enough.
