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(RON S. @ May 7 2004, 07:12 AM) I eyeballed the template to tranfer punch the holes between the vanes in the rotors. Sounds like you're talking about cross-drilling the rotor surfaces. The original post is about drilling the five-lug pattern in the hub. Are you sure that the $300 is only for the hubs? Does it include studs and wheel bearings as well? I seem to remember one of our competitors in San Luis Obispo selling a kit for $3-something, but it included much more than just the hubs. --DD |
