Kyle, those splines are for front brakes, the rotors have the same spline and the spindles have ears to mount the calipers. terry

... I won't embed the video, since it is a sidewinder kart, but you can go watch this video to get a look at the Margay front brake setup that uses those spline hubs. The Spline hub is a separate part that slides over the wheel hub, and is locked in place with 2 screws.

BTW, Terry Ives runs a set of wheels like that on his blue SAE.
He said he pulled the wheels off his enduro kart, which probably had front brakes.
Terry might be a good resource to ask about the hubs and the brakes.
