I had two rear hubs done but none of the holes for the brake disc mounting screws were lined up and the hackjob of drilling and countersinking new holes in the brake disc was something I didnt like.
The mounting holes in the hub are oriented 180 degrees apart from what I can tell. The holes in the 914-6 brake disc are more like 175/185 degrees apart. Is there any particular way that is better than the others for orientation of the hub vs the brake disc? I want to be able to give as clear instructions as possible to the machine shop.

It all depends on how loose the rotor fits over the studs. If you hold the rotor against the hub and can still move the rotor around, you may have a centering problem. I saw this last year. The rotor actually hit the inside of the caliper it ran out of round so much. If there is no play, then you have no worry.
