Where to go in Melb to get Laser rotors redrilled to suit the capri hubs

Hi Guys,
 
Can anyone on here redrill a set of laser rotors to match my Capri hubs?
 
If not, where can I go to get it done?
 
I am in the Eastern Suburbs (Doncaster) but happy to travel wherever and can pay in beer if required!
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

    Pretty sure they bolt straight on, but you need to fit a sleeve to locate the rotor on the hub

    Hi Woz,
     
    I think you are right.  According to here (http://www.classic-ford.org/cfp/tm.aspx?m=2118) they need opening up 1mm.
     
    Is the sleeve to ensure they are centered correctly?
     
    Cheers,

    I used a  drill bit to open the holes up and simply mounted them on with teh correct bolts.. I centered mine by spinning the disk with caliper attached and dial indicator until i had a true spin on the disk.. locked it up and re-used the half moon lock tabs to make sure they dont come loose.. had no dramas at the rally.

    Hey Matty,
     
    That's what I was thinking was involved.  I probably should take it to an engineering joint just to be safe.

    I've never had to redrill the holes, and they MUST have a sleeve to locate centrally.  I wouldn't fit them without the locating sleeve regardless of how good you line them up with a dial gauge.  It saves any headaches further down the track if they happen to move, and with nothing to locate it it increases the risk of that.  I have pre-made sleeves if you require them.
     
    Cheers

    Thanks to Woz and his sleeves the rotors bolted straight on with no drilling required.
