RE: V8 UFO Brake Conversion

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

... When you look at the front wheels, it makes your expensive alloy wheels
look like cheap hubcaps!  ;-)  That my first impression when I saw my first
'91 200QW.  Since the calipers come in from the center, there is a stamped
metal spider that attaches to the hub and the outer rim of the rotor.  The
holes stamped in the spider make the unit look like the windows on a UFO ...
thus the name.  If noone else gets back to you let me know ... I may have a
picture in one of my books, or I can pull a front wheel and take a picture
...

HTH!
