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 my fronts on a bench top drill press. I used my wheel spacers for a templet. I did the rears on the car. Used the spacer as a templet. I used one of the factory 4 hole bolts to align spacer, and the pin that slides out of the end of my digital caliper to check the spacer (which was machine cut) alignment to the rotor all around. I have a round table on the drill press. I could easily spin the table and drop the bit into the next hole without moving the drill head. Worked for me. I had to bring the fronts to a machine shop to spot face the back side of the fronts. the web was in the way on the head on the lug stud.
