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
Cheers Moggy |

Ahhh... just noticed this is for rotors only.
Thoughts: 914-6 rotors will work. They are expensive and they will need 2mm milled off the edge. It will cost you around $40.00 in addition to the cost of the rotors. Take a new set of -4 rotors over to a machine shop and have them drilled with a 5x130 pattern. Again, it should run around $40.00. Probably a less expensive proposition. Bonus Using the -4 Rotors: The rotor attachment screws will line up on your hubs (if your 5 hubs were converted/indexed properly). This allows you to fix your rotor to the hub while setting the venting clearance. The 914-6 rotor has a different pattern for the attachment screws and they will only bolt up to a 911 hub. |
