Default Goodyear wheels

I bought a set of Goodyear wheels at the Mid-Atlantic Flyin held in
Lumberton, NC last Saturday. They were fairly dirty, but only cost $10
and cleaned up real nice. I elected not to carry home the brake
calipers, they as it would be too hard to make them fit my installation.
Figured someone else could make better use of them.

I've done some research, and the Matco 600 series of triple-piston
calipers look like they will fit right in, with a nice 1/8" clearance
all the way around.

My question is, "How does the brake rotor attach to the wheel in the
Goodyears?" It looks like the rotor float freely on some metal blocks
and held in place by the calipers. Is this correct? Or is there some
way to lock the rotor in place?

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
