I called Moser Engineering about changing my front hubs from 6 to 5 lug. They are not doing that anymore, even though it is still posted as an available service on their web site. Does anyone know of another machine shop that does this kind of work?

Yep the reason is, moser (and any other machine shop that does it) will have to drill right through the heads of some of the bolts that hold the rotor and the hub together. I had Moser do mine years ago and when i got it back i was like WTF? this is how they do it?

Ya the 5-lug convert seems to be a thing of the past now days. I plan to just splurge for a set of custom six lug Bogart 15x4" wheels and leave the front six lug, more $$ but it will work.

Bogarts are nice.... the lightest wheel I've ever seen. They're made right down the street from me in Santee. They make wheels for Moncoque too.

I dunno if it were up to me I'd do the aerospace front disk kit. its not too expensive for a really nice 5 lug set up. I'll be upgrading to that eventually and then will post up my Moser 5 lug converted front set up for sale but thats a long ways off right now.
