Mate couple of things spring to mind. Get your wide five drums drilled to Porsche or better still go to the CB performance website and get yourslef
brand new stuff already in Porsche patern. Shermann in QLD do it too.

I may be wrong but wide 5 drums won't be able to be redrilled for porsche 5x130pcd because of the pressings/shape of the inside of the drum
especially rears. Also redrilling is illegal (in QLD anyway).
Adaptors....wide 5 to porsche pcd - also illegal I think (but check for your self).
Convert to porsche pcd using cb performance dropped spindles and discs, and rear disc kit as I have done on my 68 pan. Be prepared for customs tax
etc.

He mentioned "blank drums" then its drilling not re-drilling which is legal.

No your not wrong you carnt fit later Porsche pattern onto early drums.
Better off converting to 4 stud first discs and Type 3 rears or discs on the rear as well.
Call Vintage they have done this heaps of times.
