Hi

I read on here that 4 x 100mm PCD is only advisable to be drilled next to the original VW bolts so they bolt into the thick part of the brake drum..
the 4 x 100 fit neatly above the VW bolt holes..

although as You say, You could drive around on them all day and never had any problems..

I did see also on here years ago, where a very nice looking beetle was involved in an accident and the insurance company wiped him, because from memory, one of his front wheels hit the gutter after the accident, and the brake drum broke away, with the wheel coming off...
as He had redrilled the brake drums..

I'm wondering whether new blank drums have a uniform thickness..?? all the way round??

I've always wondered about redrilling drums and how You got it perfect...
Now I know...

cheers
