Hi
I don't think that there wouldn't be a proper flat surface on a wide 5 drum to fit that bolt pattern.
Steve
No there isn't steve
well if you can make it work, i wouldn't think you'd need a jig.............the PCD is 130 and there are five holes, do the calcs 😁
Ummm.... wow.

Crikey, get up on the wrong side or what.
These people DID help or are you blind
a. 5x130 doesn't fit wide 5 drums
b. a drilling jig isn't difficult to make, certainly if you can make 5 x 130 fit a wide 5 drum (like no one else on the planet can but hey) you should have no problem making your own jig.
Your the one posting rediculous requests and then you get pissed with the forum and posters.......welcome to you too big fella, feel free to make yourself known to us at Valla or somewhere where we may meet. I'd love to say hi. You know who I am........nothing to hide 🙂

I think they are saying If you can turn down a hub then 5x130 is straightforward with those skills. Why dont you try an old Porsche hub. Hub locate it and then you can drill through. Good luck. It easy with the harsh words. People have tried lots of things before and might be offering good advise. But If you want to do it then pissing off people who can help ain't getting you far. All the best
I tore the back off a corn flakes packet, using my high school protractor, drew a circle with a radius of 65mm (dia 130mm). Then by dividing 360 degrees by 5 = 72 degrees. Drawing a line from the centre point to where the line crossed the radius was where the stud should be. You could use pythagoras' thereom to calculate the distance between each stud along the radius, but knowing all should be equal, I gave that dumb ass the flick.
It is a simple jig, an answer to a simple question, and by making this simple jig, all the problems will be solved.
Oh and by the way, because the engineer didn't like the fact that what I had done was illegal (who would'a thought) I purchased a set of rotors that where purpose built for the particular stud pattern.
I know it sound a bit dumb, but now if my car is in an accident, my insurance company will not desert me.
Cheers Dave
(add disclosure statement here...)
I didn't know rotaries ran 5x130 stud pattern!!!!! 😂
First time in my life I have heard somone say they dont like VW folk. Nicest people on the planet.

Please PM me or reply here anything thats available
(State isnt an issue, I will ship if I need to)
there isn't enough flat material to redrill wide 5s..
[and its illegal..]
that is why no one has done it...
if its for an offroad unregistered buggy then You can do it
[or anything]
You can buy new drums with the holes already drilled...

Come on people-in this new PC world we are supposed to make allowances for idiots,so leave him be.
Another classic thread on AVD.😂
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂
Wow, he only asked for a jig, a simple yes or no would've sufficed. Nobody other than 'thatshimofficer' knows what he wants it for so I don't really see where all the grief has come from🥲
love this site always good for a giggle
👍👍😂🙅🥷😬🤓

And the simplest way of marking them out is calculating the chord between adjacent holes:
Chord = Sin (180/5) x PCD

There was a bloke on here some time back who made things like this jig for fellow Dubbers at minimal cost if any but can't find any trace of him now. Thought I found him but doesn't answer PM.

I've got a drilling jig that works perfectly........however I won't let it go to anyone who is rude!
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
I like the Corn Flakes box pattent with the Protractor
Yep dont re drill new holes as the drums are very thing and wont take a new hole for a wheel stud
only just read this one should have read earlier
I think he may be from the southern states ( sorry Melb Peoples )
Can i borrow yr Jig Greg
...however I won't let it go to anyone who is rude!
I agree.
That's one thing I've found on this forum over the years, is everyone's been really helpful. We've always had our own ideas and ways of doing stuff, but never rude.
Calling us 'clowns', how dare he.
Don't ever let anyone tell you, "It can't be done."

Sorry Dave, but you were being rude to "Melb Peoples" there.
🙅

I knw but its only a sumiisation ( i think )
So does anyone have any ideas of how we can help hm solve the problem
He Greg you have a good set of used wide five drums laying around
Yes Dave, I do have a 'brand new' set of drums......only used once. One of the rears needs 'welding together', though.

As stated previously, the rear is easy as, replace with 4 stud style blank/Porsche pattern drums, the front requires a full brake conversion to do it. The easy way is buy a set of adapters, but we all know not necessarily considered a safe way and illegal.

Not knowing what the poster is going to do here is my solution.
Buy a Genuine Porsche Turbo Wheel spacer from a Porsche Wrecker I bought mine from a mob in silverwater Sydney or you can get them from 911 in WA.
I used mine to convert a spare 205PCD drum to accomodate a Genuine Porsche Fuch into a Garden Hose holder, no engineers report necessary and I had the hottest Garden Hose holder in town! With a turbo wheel spacer!
Cheers,
David
