Hello. New here,so here goos.
Back in 2007 started to put the parts and chassie together. I have 3 chassis to work from,2 from Texas and one from Ca. The Texas car seems to be better/less rust but it was hit in the driver front and repaired. Will look into that when I get is up on Rotisserie. Will start building the Rotisserie next. She will be powered by a JDM Sti using a adapter to the 914 transaxle. Didn't want to go to the Subaru,to much work. When I get it up on the Rotisserie is this a good time to have blasted clean/paint free? Here are some photos . Any input is welcome!

I, cleaned up a 914-4 brake rotor and bolted (one hole) to the Boxster hub. It almost self centers. I then tightened up the wheel lug. Used a transfer punch to mark the 5 bolt pattern. Will drill them after getting a bit for a stud mount ? I want to do a mock up so I'm using what I have. Anybody try using allen bolts for wheel studs ? In dirt racing it is a cheep way to go . With some luck the stub's will be here in a day or two ?

Then some welding. Any body on the board sell the metal kits for the chassis and trailing arm's ? Randy |

Using a transfer punch and the hub both introduce significant error. That's a job for a milling machine with a rotary table in my opinion. Otherwise the compounding tolerances could introduce some very unwelcome high speed wobble... |

[/quote] Its not the hub he's drilling, its the rotors. Carry on, it should not be an issues. Just set two points, mark and drill. The lugs do not place the rotor in a perfect alignment. The counter sunk screw does that. Just make sure one of them matches up. And a lug bolt matches up, and go for it. |
