I've been a pretty good boy this year and I think Santa is going to grant me my wish for a new set of Moser axles. I'm going to install 1/2" screw in studs. I realized that these 1/2" studs ain't gonna fit through a 7/16" hole in the brake drum. DO you just put the drums on a drill press and take a 1/2" and enlarge the hole or take them to a machine shop and have it done?

Thanks!

Drill press is fine. The drum is centered by the hub on the axle so precision machining of the stud holes isn't necessary.

I just hogged 'em out with a hand drill. smile.gif

Thanks Tim! graemlins/beers.gif

You'd get nicer results with a mill. Centering a hole while enlarging it with a drill bit don't always go hand on hand.

It should cost you less than $40 to do it this way.
