got a few sets of maruti 4.1 diff centeres laying round and thought i'd throw some under my new w/t rig, the only prob is they are n/t bolt pattern on the flanges. Can i redrill the flanges to suit w/t spacing, i have a tailshaft spacer that has both patterns on it and would be perfect for the task, or am i going to end up cursing cause i cant drill through the flange
(no drill press either)

take them to a machinist and tell them the PCD you want. Chucking the flange up on a roatary table in a Mill will take them 5-10 mins to do the job. Probably get it done for a 6pack if you drop in on friday morning :wink:

thought this way would be easier and quicker to drill 8 holes than to spend ages with breaker bars and shit on my own.

the spacer i have has both sets of holes, i thought it would be easier to bolt it on and then just drill through the w/t holes which should give the perfect pcd ? uh

ok i cannot see how this would work as the actual flanges themselfs are a different size and the pcd of the w/t is on the outer edge of the n/t flange
so it looks like they will be swaped by suzistore.
