I don't think I've ever seen a rotor/hat combo keyed, so I think it would be safe. That said, since you would be cutting down an oem rotor, you could key it I suppose, even safer-er

I didn't read all 9 pages closely, so if this was mentioned please point it out to me.
Are the rotors keyed in any way to the hat, or is the OP relying solely on those 12 or so bolts loaded in shear to keep the rotor attached to the hub? I didn't see any keys being placed in the original set of pictures.
just throwing this out there...
down to 215 bucks...

I really need to match my rears with the front Wilwoods, just don't have the time. I would be interested but that is a bummer you have to cut up the PB plate assembly to get it to fit.dunno? I could make a few but they would have to be sold by a business (for obvious liability reasons). do you think there is any demand?
I’ll buy a set to use as paper weights.yeah, I agree on cutting up the backplate, but there is no other good option and the benefit of a 4-piston caliper was worth it for me. I generally don't permanently alter the original design so that my mod can be removed and it is possible to go back to the stock setup, but that is not really possible here.
All 3 bolts are used. I just didn't have all of them installed when doing my r&d and when taking that photo.
I might be willing to share the dwg...??? Or, I could make a few but don't know how to distribute without any liability? I suspect there are only a few forum members that would be interested in doing this.
Cutting the plate will turn many away but I agree on keeping it simple in this case. You could probably just pull the rotor and modify it on the axle even. The way you reinforced it was a good idea and looks solid to me. A full plate would be ideal but I'm liking it more seeing the additional bolt securing the bracket.yeah, I agree on cutting up the backplate, but there is no other good option and the benefit of a 4-piston caliper was worth it for me.
