Re: [T3] redrilling rotor and drums


Nathan=> i have gotten nothing but no's.

It really is a safety issue. The stock holes are drilled into thick bosses
on the hub. With, say, a five-bolt pattern in a four-bolt hub, you could
only save one of those, so four of your bolts or studs would be in thin
sections of the hub. Something goes wrong and your wheel is flying down the
road ahead of you.

Yes, people do this, and most of them don't die from it. It's risky
engineering, nontheless, and no reputable shop will accept the liability.
