Disk butchery

[beavy69]

Is there any harm in drilling five stud or similar big brake disks to get them to fit a nova?

is it dangerously weakening them or do many people do it without problems?

thanks all,

i've seen lots of people to this with no problem from cracking so would guess that it would be fine to do

[jbowman]

It shouldnt be a problem, a colegue of mine redrilled a set for his astra, acuracy is of upmost importance or you'll get the wobblies like an unbalanced wheel.

Its easier to just go out and get some Fiat Coupe 288mm discs which are already 4 stud dude. I also heard a rumour that certain toyota corrola discs fit as well.

^^ thats what ive got on mine, cost about ?60 for both discs an pads new.

[novatracker]

[Sloth]

Do the calipers of the fiat and toyota fit straight on too?

And phil when you say ?60 for the disks and pads, what abou the calipers?

cheers,

You dont need the calipers from what i gather, simply the GM calipers for the appropriate size disc

[beavy69]

has anyone else done this/ know of this as successful?
