re drilling brake discs

Postby deaf_rattle » Sun Jun 10, 2007 12:08 pm

Just had a quick nosey on the lvvta site, but couldnt find anything to say otherwise (was a quiick look)

i have some 5 stud z32 discs that i want in 4 stud. Can i get these re drilled to suit?

WIll it pass certification? (have sent email to the cert guy)

Will it be safe to do so?

otherwise i might have to see if i can get 4 stud z32 discs.

cheers

As long as there is enough metal left to restrain the strength it's fine. In fact I'm pretty sure mine are redrilled and it passed the cert fine.

check with zenoli brake guys in auckland. They seem to get rotors from almost all the suppliers overseas and can get some blanks.
