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 did a set on my six a few years back.
What I did was draw up a Round drill template on AutoCad. Od was same od as rotor,Id was same size as hub,so it would slip over nicely. I eyeballed the template to tranfer punch the holes between the vanes in the rotors. Removed the template,laid the rotor flat on the drill press,and drilled right thru. When done I chamfered all holes top & bottom to try to minimize cracking. With the drill template.2 rotros took less than 30 minutes,start to finish to do. Also,the material that rotors are made of is very soft,there no need to lock the rotor down while drilling.I held it by hand. Ron Attached File(s) FRTRTEMP.dwg ( 24.68k ) Number of downloads: 42 |
