Default wilwood rotors not fitting moser rearend?

My axles have a lip that doesn't allow my rotors to fit. They don't fit flush against the axle. It seems like the axles were not machined all the way. I posted a pic. The rotor slides on and then hits the lip it's about 1/8 inch gap between the rotor and axle flange

It is not uncommon to have to do a minor chamfer on the back edge of the rotor. But that looks like it needs more then a camfer.

Had same issue with a Chevelle - Moser 12-bolt and Wilwood combo. Went to a machine shop and had rotors drilled. Also rear axel came with 7/16 studs - had to knock them out and replace with 1/2 studs. All works fine after that and there is little to no play.

Same problem here. The register on the axle flange is too big for the rotor. Brian Schein turned mine to fix it.

If you know you are going to be running chey brakes on ford axels moser will turn them down for you when you order you axels. Just tell them what brake kit you are running and they will make it work.

Spoke with Matt @ Moser, no help pretty much said not my problem talk to who you bought it from. Spoke to Frank @ Prodigy and he was very helpful and gave me the green light to start grinding on the rotors. Don't mind spending some time to make things right, but it's kinda BS when both the rearend and the wilwood kit came from the same place. I mean, rearend drop shipped from moser and the brakes direct buy from moser. Both came from moser. All is good, can't wait to get these brakes mounted up!

Default Problem solved!!!!

Grinded down the inside of the rotor and tried to keep the machined diameter. Put about a 45 degree angle on it. Seems to fit well now and the calipers also fit well. Thanks for the input from those who replied. I will post some pics of before and after grinding later.
