Title: Drilled Rotors
Post by: AussiXS11G on August 03, 2014, 06:18:23 PM: I have noticed a few disparaging remarks about drilled rotor pattens here and thought I should
get approval of the pattern I have designed for my own machine prior to drilling.......
Comments please.... not enough?.....too much?

should be the hot setup. I have 6.5mm drill bits.

the MZ rotor - it's front, right side

Just wondering if you've purposely mapped out 1 and a half times as many holes in your disc pattern than the MZ's in order to reduce the weight a bit more?? ;)

This is not mine - they are raced as a class in the UK and the unit I have has been raced at Lakeside

Make sure you've got LOTS!! of drills and time.
Stainless rotors will test your patience and have you wondering why you started drilling in the first place......just say'n

while your drilling said holes, if you can elongate each one by 4.35 % to counter act the 2.57% warpage that will come from the 3.62% lessening of the wieght of the disc relative to the pressure of the new brake lines, you should just about have it,,

or do as you intended to start with :P

Post by: steptoe on October 26, 2014, 02:53:49 PM: the only thing would be stds design, rules thing, is there a measure of metal between each hole,

other than that modify away

Post by: Christian Raith on October 26, 2014, 04:06:32 PM: Should make sure that the gap between the holes is enough so you don't develop cracks under hard braking
