Has any one redrill ITR 96 wheel hub from 4x114.3 to 4x100? I am looking into doing that because I want to keep my wheel (4x100) and use the ITR 96 disc brake since I already have a very nice condition set. Just want to know if anyone did that and do they have any failure problem?

Thanks

redrill's are fooking dangerous mang. i wouldnt.

 

I ask because we see mult pattern on aluminum wheel. I have to take a look into the stress if I did the changes by using some FEA program. I just want to see if there is anyone actually did this modification.

They have a tech articel in Honda Tuning. They just used a drill press and an old 4x100 rotor as a template for drilling.

 

Thanks for your info

 

I wouldn't worry about the holes themselves, but I would be worried about any possible stress risers that are created by the drilling.

 

I model the hub in CAD and ran an FEA. They Stress doesn't change that much but it is hard to model the real scenario. I figure out I just buy new wheels to fit the brake instead risking the chances of ruin the wheel hub if the machining hole is off.

couldnt you reinforce the 4x114.3 holes once you drill the 4x100 holes or even fill them in?

On the race car we use redrilled ITR rotors day in and day out. Shut the hell up if you don't have real world experience.

rotors are not hubs. do you have re-drilled hubs?

I thought about reinforcing it but in order to do it right you need to heat treat and anneal after you fill the hole with weld. Since I do not know the spec for heat treating, I kind of want to stay away with that. Plus welding may distort the hub and may affect the tolerance for the wheel bearing.
