I'm starting to think they are out to get me !!!

Finally sorted the backplate bits and pieces and pulled the drums out of the boxes and guess what ? Wrong stud pattern

Anyway I decided to use them and just redrill, heres how the job went.

First I turned up a spigot from a lump of aluminium round bar to align the centre hole of the drum, then a aluminium spacer I had was fitted to it, everything clamped up and then I drilled through the stud holes in the spacer, Fairly straight forward job but I could of done without it to be honest.

I cleaned off the very thin coat factory paint with a zip wheel and epoxy primed them and then gave them 2 coats of 2K Jedi black.

I know the feeling!! Are you quite sure that Sue's not slipping out to the shop and swapping stuff in the boxes, just to see your reaction??

In all seriousness, another problem solved in a unique way, and yet another push for me to look for a metal lathe!! Thanks for posting!!
