Default Alright Guys! Need EVERYONE to look....

I have been trying to find a machine shop that can redrill my front rotors and hubs, and have came up with nothing! There really aren't any places that do custom work around here. I have been thinking about using adapters on the front, but I just don't know if I can trust them at 115mph. Does anyone know of ANY machine shop that has done something like this? If so, I need their number! And if not, does anyone know how strong they make the wheel adapters now? I would think they might be alright as long as they were just on the front. That way there is no sudden torque on them. BLACKSHEEP; 2TONEBLOWN: Where were ya'lls done?! How much was it?! Who do you have to know for someone to do this for you?! I need help guys. And I know there is just a hand full that have done this, so it's making it even harder for me to find info. I SWEAR to all of you, that if I find someone to do it, you can bet UR *** THAT THERE WILL BE A FULL WRITE UP!!!!!!!

Thanks Guys,
Austin

I'm sorry I can't help you, but why do you need your rotors redrilled?

I had a set of custom rear hats made by Coleman Racing. I tried to have a set of stock style 8-lug rotors redrilled to 6-lug and learned that the bolt circles aren't compatible, so I guess it depends on what you are trying to do.

You have to find someone who knows how to operate an indexing attachment of a lathe. It can be done as long as the nose of the hub isnt too big to go thrugh the center of the wheel or be turned to the size of the center without running into bearing. Call Moser Enginering 260 726 6689 they can help ya, good luck, Tom

Yes Moser can help...with axles for the rear. However the problem is with the front. Surely a member on here has access to doing this and if they were smart could probably make some extra cash on the side.
