Phizinza Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Ok, so I am doing the 6 lug conversion. I only have (had, I just broke it) 13mm drill bit. I read that I need a 9/16th's bit, and somewhere else I read 14mm. Seems the 9/16th's bit is about 14.29mm i figure this is a big difference. So, tell me, what size do I need!??! BTW, I have a drill press and all, I've got 13mm holes in one of the hubs and they are PERFECTLY aligned (good eye sight I guess). I was feeling good about it all, until I found out my local hardware store only sells upto 13mm bits.. Then I broke mine.. And even more has gone wrong today. So, before I continue to stuff everything up I'll just get you to conferm which size I need... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Use a 1/2" bit, almost perfect if not exactly for 13mm. Not sure of lug stud size though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 I saw on a packet of wheel studs it said drill a hole 0.25mm smaller then the splines. The splines are 14.28mm wide. So I am guessing a 14mm drill bit should do good. BTW, as I said before, I am drilling the hubs, not the wheels. So 13mm just isn't going to do it.
