Sorry guys, redrilling the hubs sounds pretty scary to me.

I RUN them on my type 34 for years ...
Georg, redrilled hubs are absolutely safe for cars sitting in shops or on trailers... ;)
;D ;D ;D ;D
Sorry, couldn't resist... ::)
Dave Rosique:
If you're worried about the integrity of a modified VW hub, contact Anthony at ISP for his "Race Strength" hubs. (see photos)
You will spend less for ISP hubs than I spent at FAT having my VW hubs re-drilled and nosed to fit short axles.
If you decide to re-drill, use only genuine VW hubs.

Did you do a ultrasonography after drilling? Do you KNOW that there are no crackings?
Do you think VW did that analysis when they drilled them in the first place?

No they haven`t. BUT the have spend the orig. holes some extra meat to cope with the stress.
And the new holes are far beyound. A friend of mine welded the hubs but they got way out of balance and went to scrap...
I am also a wimp and converted to 5x130 bug brakes. But then you have other issues as those tiny bug drums don`t brake that well.
So next stop disc brakes...
There is always everthing ok until something happens...
