First and foremost - please don't tell me a machine shop can do it because I am not paying someone to drill 8 holes that a monkey with the right tool could do.

Now - I have a rotor to use as a template and new rotors ready to be re-drilled. How do you all:

A) Center the 2 rotors together so that the new holes are aligned properly?
B) Clamp the rotors together?

Is there a better way to make sure the holes are aligned properly?

Also - what size bit do you use for the final cut?

 

bump, i would also like some info.

 

"I am cool cuz I change my own oil . . . . but I pay someone to drill 4 holes in a rotor"

Seriously - I am AMAZED that apparently NOBODY knows how to actually do this?

My god - all I want to know is the best way to align the 2 rotors and hold them together while drilling. I didn't realize it was such a deep dark secret.

 

I DO I DO

 

haha you really are a sad.. sad human

 

why do you want to drill the rotors for 4x100? civic/teggy with H22 and using prelude knuckles? it's like why would I take my 4x114.3 Accord and drill for a weaker 4X100 setup? you make no sense. I've seen where a built H22 was put in a JDM tegra, and contiuously shattered axles. he had a stroke of genius, and used the Teg knuckles with 'Lude axles. the trick was to use the 'Teg outer joint, and use the rest of a 'Lude axle, and use a tegra CV boot kit. worked like a charm, and he has yet to have a problem. again, y do u want to do this?

he makes a lot of sense. read here for more info as to what he's likely doing. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=659063

I will be doing this soon too so I would like to know as well the best way to redrill the rotors w/o wasting my money on someone else doing it.

 

I would imagine to use a used pair of Lude rotors, and place them on a Drill press and clamped them down. Drill presses are not that expensive.

Good LucK.

 

since your not going through too much material you can get away with drlling by hand rather than a press, but it's up to you, i think thew best way to line them up would be like the hole pattern on a universal 4 lug wheel, basically 90degrees of of stock. if you have two rotors, you can line up the center hole don't wory about clamping them, just make a very precise mark and make a pilot hole.

 

thad has it.....


or you can use some type of vise grip..
well i would just pay a machine shop 20 to do it.. in 2 mins ....
