Didnt See that bit .
I know on the V6 conversions i've seen standard disks that have been drilled twice (one in production for 5 stud, and then again to conver to 4 stud). Too look at this doesnt look safe, but when you think about it, its sandwitched between the hub and wheel, so its not gonna go anywhere really is it?
Get an engineering company to drill some for you . Also IIRC i looked in the Vauxhall Trade club book, and a set of disks and Pads for a veccy V6 were reasonable for new stuff (about £60), so might be worth considerig if you've got a mate in the trade . would then just need to get a pair of calipers from a scrappy.
