front hub ruined?
I was cutting off the rivets for the front hub and I scored the surface. Is this hub junk or is there enough of the surface around it to make the rotor sit flat?

Hopefully you can upload photos. I usually drill out the rivets.

Agreed, this hub is fine.

Nothing wrong with that hub, in fact you should grind around the holes to remove high spots that will cause runout. The factory facing is clearly shown and I would guess there is runout in that surface. It doesn't matter. Deburr the inside of the rotor hat or countersink it. Bolt on the rotor using the lug nuts or by tapping and bolting them on. I set the runout to under 003" but 005 will work.
