Drilling and tapping hubs/discs

[zeroaxe]

Hey people,

Would like to ask some opinions again please. I am considering drilling and tapping my own hubs, as I cant find a place close to me that is willing to do it (there might be this one more shop that might do it, but I am not counting on it). Problem is that I can not find any taps in 14mm diameter. sizes, let alone the right pitch.

Now, the DIY shop close to me has got a kit, these:


They come as a 'start, tap and finish' set. Problem is that they are 12mm diameter only. I would like to go to a 5 stud pattern.

So my thinking is this... If the Super Beetle/Fastback came with 4x14mm lug nuts, would it be a bad thing to go to 5x12mm lug nuts? I would prefer if I can get hold of 'press in studs' but again, to find them here and then to get somone to press them in with a hydraulic press .....?

So, I give the floor to you....:agree:
