  Riveting the rotor to the spindle minimizes runout, especially if the rotors are trued to the spindle after they are riveted on.

Who told you that? Riviting the rotors does nothing. You minimize run out when you use a dial indicator. Rivits were only install at the factory so they didn't fall off when they flipped the frame over

If you say so....

Absolutely correct.  The Corvette uses rivits, some cars use screws, many use cheap little clips.  Once the car is built, there is not reason for any of them.  They are strictly for holding the rotors on while building. kstyer38397.3649652778
