Im sure someone on here can answer this. Ive seen a few Enzo's on this here.

Here Is what the brake parts look like.

And this is the PE disk

It doesnt fit! Ive only used PE parts a couple of times, but every time I did the disk's had a cutout so that it would fit around the calliper.

What do I do?

1. Use a razor saw to cut away the calipers along the surface of the kit rotor.

2. If the PE part has holes in it (cross-drilled detail), paint the surface of the kit rotor flat black.

3. Use a drop of CA to attach the PE rotor to the surface of the kit disk.

4. Paint the calipers you removed in step 1 and glue back in place with a drop of CA.

There will be a gap in the caliper because you have the PE rotor in place now, but when the wheels are attached you won't see that gap.

I was afraid I was gonna have to do something like that. I think I have some spare parts I can practice on. Thanks for the tip.

Well, that Wasn't so bad. Thanks for the tip.

I am in the midst of finishing up my FXX the rotors on these cars are actually carbon fiber. I painted mine light gunmetal and just painted the calipers semi gloss black. Just my two pennies worth.
