    not sure of size, but the id is goin to be the vr hub size and the od is goin to be the inside of your vt rotor. Measure em up and you can machine yourself up a set.

    I bought mine from link below but unfortunatly he dosnt have any listed for sale

    yeah cheers for that, i ve got the measurements for the disc, its 71.5mm dia with a 0.75 degree taper in the bore which is pretty strange so im guessin the hub must have a taper bit on it too??, just wanted to get the shims made up before i took the calipers and discs off so i could do it all in 1 go.

    im sure here somone knows the hub size, i've seen it in a thread b4, just not sure, maybe try a search. My shims dont have the taper like the disc, they are just flat like egg rings. Basically its only that thin flat ring at the front of the rotor that sits on the hub adaptor.

    vt discs and calipers on vs

    I found this, its got the info you need but not the one i was thinkin of, by the looks of it they are 70mm and vt is 71.5mm. So 70mm ID on the ring and 71.5mm OD on the ring. That sounds about right, the egg ring spacer rings i put on my hubs for the vt rotors were only fairly thin.
