    I picked up a replacement olds rear from Les Clearance on the hamb- hes a RULER!

    Last time around I had adapters that went from the BOP 5 bolt pattern to chevy to fit my mags.

    This time I'm going BOP 5on5 to small bolt ford.

    Just wondering if there is a place out there that will drill my rear axle shafts for small bolt ford because I'm not a huge fan of aluminum adapters in the first place.

    Is there a hamber that does this maybe? I can ship them too-

    My son, with the 28 roadster, had some done just north of town here. Was very reasonable.
