Alan,any engineering shop would do that,of coarse you'd have to remove the tyres first,it would probably cost you about £1-£2 per hole.

As the ford wheels are ready available,would it not be better to have the shafts redrilled to the ford stud pattern, should you need a change of wheels in the future. Brian

Ok guys. Unfortuneatly the rear of the wheels were i want them redrilled is not flat! The original holes could be elongated, but i,m not sure about that? The rover sd1 halfshafts are a real pain to alter. Does anyone know if they made slot mags back in the day in a 5x5 pcd? If i could get a pair of 10x15 in 5x5, i would sell them. Many thanks guys. Alan.

As always I only sold these on r&s about 3 months ago, which were a 5" pcd, Thanks Brian

5 on 5 were the hot ticket as the toughest available axles of the day (Olds/Pontiac i think) were 5 on 5 - so the wheels you haven't yet got might have seen FED duty :cool:. But you'll probably be looking at 10 * 16, or wider.

US ebay should sort you.

Bingo, with slicks

Bingo 2, the real deal

But if you wanna play, ya gotta pay.

You wish!! Last lot I had done, probably 12 years ago cost near on £80 for a pair & that was a trade price. To do them properly requires a CNC mill & it's the setting up that takes the time & consequently the cost. Most shops prefer medium to long runs of work, the hassle of all that work for just 2 or even 4 wheels tends to put off most workshops.

Hi Maurice, have you tried talking to Rob Dawe, near Chatham?
01634 830679 07504 500349. He unilugged a pair of slot mags for me a couple of years back and did a good job.

(just realized - its not Maurice asking)
