Well **** - Lars pointed out that the rear rotor won't fit over the OD of the hub face... checked my sports, sure enough. I Didn't even think to check the rotor fitting over the hub. Just a little off the edge should do.
4.916 hub OD
4.895 inner rotor hat
about 0.1mm shave should suffice, but remember to allow for heat expansion.

I think he needs to put the rear end on jacks (which I'm sure it is already) , start the car, put in gear and take a file to those hubs! That'd be funny as hell... and it'd work! Until his arm gets wrapped up in the axle...

Took some quick measurements with a HF caliper.
MR-S hub OD: 125mm
Miata hub OD: 122mm
1.8 rear brake rotor ID: 124.5mm
I'd like to take ~1mm off so it's not a super tight fit for the rotor onto the hub. The rotor "hat" has to expand some while hot, correct? I figure if the tolerance was too tight it could potentially crack? Maybe I'm being overly paranoid.
This is just part of pioneering, I suppose. Thankfully this is fixable and Sean can add it to his process.

Pressure adjustments range from 100-1000 PSI and provide for a maximum decrease of 57% in line pressure, the most of any available valve
