CIP1 has 10% off everything for the next 5 days. you may want to consider whether or not you should just pick up new ones. just depends what kind of condition yours are in. i would just save for the discs personally. waiting to put the Fuch's on can be good modivation to save. |
What about the safety hazzard of drilling in the non-strengthenend part of the drum? Should 'we' advise this on this forum?
In Europe, all drums have a thick rib in a cross-pattern where the 4 threads for the bolts have been tapped into. Drilling for 5 studs will cause the use of the thin part of the drum. Then you have only 2 threads or so for your bolt to screw into
Studs mounting would use the same thin place in the drum. I can't imagine this to be a safe option either.
5 Studs or bolts in a drum requires a special equally thick(er) blank drum IMO, like Zen mentioned in his first post.
