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? |

QUOTE(blaize @ May 6 2004, 09:08 PM) all the prices I have seen are around 300 for redrilled rear hubs and thats plus core. Wow. Have prices gone up that much? Rich Johnson did mine for $180 including studs. (2 yrs ago) I would not dare try this without a large mill and a rotary table. I'm afraid that trying this job with even a top-quality drill press will just result in a pair of really ugly paper-weights. -Ben M. |
