Like the title implies, does anyone make a kit that converts the original style hub/rotor combo part into two separate parts like modern cars that sandwich the rotor between the wheel and the hub? It would make rotor replacement far easier since you wouldn't have to deal with wheel bearings. Ultimately I'm actually most interested because I'm looking at putting a front wheel speed sensor on my car for a traction control setup and having a hub that is separate from the disc would make life a lot easier for figuring out the installation and clearances. Seems like it could be a fairly straightforward kit with slightly shorter hubs and a different offset on the rotor hat to keep everything in the same relative location, but maybe the rotor diameter isn't big enough to fit a hub inside it with the bolt pattern that is used. Just figured if I was going to go through the trouble of removing the rotor to figure out my sensor that it would be nice to update the system while I'm there if it's possible or not cost prohibitive. I don't need crazy race brakes and $1000+ conversions. It's just a street car and brakes fine today with the system on it (that I think is something like E body parts from what I can tell).
