Had a caliper freeze on me... killed a rotor before I caught it...
IDK what I pulled off but the vent holes are substantually smaller than the $90.00 napa fleet grade rotor.. I have a set on the front of my LMM with over 200k on them

well master came today,its a bigger bore,but the fittings don't seem to be 14mm,they measure out to 12mm but are a different(finer) than my 2002 lines.
I'm still gonna use it.now to find the fitting.

If you go on rock and compare years , ac gives disc of bore sizes and thread sizes . 2002 bore 37mm , thread 12.7 mm 2008 like you bought , bore 37mm thread 12 mm 2011 bore 38.1 thread 12mm on ac1741190 on ac18m2568 bore 38.1mm thread 14mm also in 2011

So it looks like up to and including 2006 thread is 12.7 mm 2007 started the 12 mm that might be the thread problem your running into because your new master is from 2007 2008 12mm and your truck 2002 is 12.7 mm . Hope this helps !

You still have to watch out though because the older trucks before 2007 are 12.7mm , its crazy ! But you got yours working anyway ! It was great that you started this so we can all learn as we go . Thanks again !
