Re: Jans 53
nice work.
when I did an 8.8 flange pattern change I used the cut off flange from an old brake rotor thatcame with the axle. cut the rest of the rotor off so all I had was the actual part that touches the axle flange. took that to a buddy who has a lathe and he marked and drilled 1/8" holes where the chevy pattern would be between the ford pattern. then i bolted that onto the axle-it fits perfect because it was made for the axle- then quickly drilled through those 1/8 holes to make a dimple on the axle flange. removed the pattern, center punched the axle flange and drilled a pilot hole, then a hole the correct size for the wheel studs. press in the studs and done deal. I kept the pattern for future reference ot to lend to the next guy doing the same thing. having it referenced on the lathe makes for a perfect fit. a cardboard or plastic pattern would also work. how did you reference yours?
