I never really payed attention to this before but I noticed that the holes in my rotors are significnatly bigger than the bolts. It hasn't caused a problem or anything but on every single other car I have ever seen, the holes in the rotors fit perfectly over the bolts. Is everyone elses f-body like this? Thanks

It's probably just to allow for some slop in case your studs aren't all perfectly aligned. The center should fit on tightly however, that's what will center the rotor.1994 Firebird 3.4<br />15.65 @ 86.8<br /><a href=\"http://www.funkz.net/firebird.htm\" target=\"_blank\">funkz.net/firebird</a><br /><a href=\"http://mywebpages.comcast.net/funkz/timeslips.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Timeslips</a> -
Actually in the best mechanical designs, bolts are not used to locate the piece. Something else (center of the wheel, unthreaded studs going into holes, etc.) is used for locating the piece and the bolts are only used to clamp the pieces together.
