Finished today but was done over the course of the week. Picked this up anytime I had some spare time at work. Converted my 6 lugs axles to 5 on 5.
I took the old crusty 6 lug axles
Made slugs
Cleaned the axle flanges and filled the 6 lug pattern
Fusion welded the plugs
Turned the welds and slugs flush
Next I took an aluminum slug
And made an offset fixture to hang the axles off of the milling machine table
Bolted the axle up in the fixture
Located and drilled 5 on 5 bolt pattern, then reamed holes to . 015 interference for the wheel studs
Finally pressed the 1/2" wheel studs into the new bolt pattern
