I have a set of 4 bolt rear discs which I need to re-drill for 5 stud. How do I go about doing this? is there a technical 'How to' somewhere I can follow. It seems simple but to get it right and accurate seems like I need to get a professional precision engineering company to do it. Who has done this before themselves and what's involved, lessons learnt etc

Essentially, you need to set them up on a dividing head secured to the table on a vertical mill. Any other way is second rate or less. Given the setup time and the cost of new /4 rotors, it'd be cheaper to go with new /6 rotors. The Cap'n
