Re-drilling is an accepted practice I believe so long as its done within the zone designed for it; previously I've seen the old holes blanked up with TIGged plugs and linished.<br>
<br>
I suppose it depends who drilled the holes and how...you could end up with a Clown's dolomite...

Didn't win them anyway (again). If I had I was going to turn up some plugs and paint them black. The good bit is I think the Sprint PCD was the original holes and the ford ones were the redrilled ones so they should have run true enough.<br>
