Well, I just got my shipment of parts in from Pelican, which included brand new 4-lug Zimmerman bremsheiben (brake rotors) I bought these because the old rotors were redrilled 4-lugs, and I didn't want to fork up the money for 914-6 parts.
Does anyone know of a shop that will redrill these somewhere close to Vista, CA? My regular machine shop doesn't have have the setups to do it and the closest one that I don't like, can't do it either. Where can I get these re-drilled? (The closer the better...) Thanks, Ethan |

Unless you have a vertical mill with an indexing head, the odds of you getting it right are so low as to be incalculable. A city the size of San Diego must have a properly equipped machine shop ........... There are at least a dozen here in Santa Maria, and we have less than 100K people. Plan on spending upwards of a hundred bucks. BTW, you might wanna call Rimco in Santa Ana. Not my first choice, but they should be able to do it, and may even be set up for it. The Cap'n |
