Guys, it's not that hard. If your hub does not have a tab all you do is affix a nut, spacer, washers, or anything the same thickness of the tab behind the kingpin to bring it further out from the backing plate. I've done that on numerous sets with no problem. This also allows you to completely assemble the ebrake hardware with the hub/bearing removed, then bolt it on last. The only thing to watch for is when you impact down the 24mm nut from behind you need to keep the kingpin from rotating, otherwise it will hit the inner portion of the rotor. Doing this allows for any 5lug hub to be used, regardless of the tab.

And FYI, some Z32 TT hubs come with the tab but but it's double drilled and the dowel pin is removable, whereas most NA hubs it's fixed on one side or the other and cannot be moved to the other side.
