In the middle of a 5 lug conv. all the prices I have seen are around 300 for redrilled rear hubs and thats plus core. so I started thinking and a drill press is only 200. Ques. is has anyone ever tried this? I presume all one needs is alot of time on setup and it cant be that tough.
Thoughts? |

I havent done it, but my concern would be: how you are going to hold the hub while drilling. Most people use a Bridgeport mill with a monster holding table and some kind of tool steel fixture. If you get it wrong.. you will eat wheel bearings and lose fillings... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
