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? |

accuracy will suffer unless you have a proper fixture with the new bolt pattern and hardened drill guides/bushings
i wouldn't recommend it at all since the rear hubs are not hubcentric and the wheel relies on the studs for it's location. if you are off too much, major wheel balancing problems will happen, that is if you can get the wheel mounted onto the studs if too far off or if the studs are not perp. with the hub surface the spot drilling on the far side can be done with a drill press as long as you can safely hold the part. |
