  1. 20210316 - I'm trying to find top-dead-center.
  2. 20210316 - One last look, no turning back once the drill bit hits this aluminum.
  3. 20210316 - Another view where the original pencil mark and the holes look very well spaced accordingly.  Time to drill it!
  4. 20210316 - I think I'm finally pleased with where I have it and made my drill hole indicator markings.
  5. 20210314 - It's all about the little things, or micro settings.  This is where "good eyes" and measuring and making slight movements to dial-it in,...
  6. 20210314 - Okay, another camera angle reference that appears that I'm off a little, or am I?  It's now down to "hair(s)" distance and I think I can...
  7. 20210314 - Use the "T" in the hub and the "Dimple" in the part and find top-dead-center. 
*NOTE: Another camera angle reference that appears to show...
  8. 20210314 - I got it mounted, silly view
  9. 20210316 - I sure hate to drill into this wheel and wish I could've ordered it with no previous holes drilled, specifically for this mod.  ...
  10. 20210314 - Double checking to get it as dead-on centers as possible. 
*NOTE: I have the various "tick-marks" that I laid-out to use as reference. ...
  11. 20210314 - Holes marked and of course in {TFFForum Blue} just made sense.
  12. 20210314 - Again, make sure to read the original thread on this.  <ADD ORIGINAL THREAD AND FORUM CREDIT MEMBER NAME HERE>  
*NOTE: Here you can see...
  13. 20210314 - Looks straight and good enough for me!
  14. 20210314 - In this step, take time to plan it out so you can have the NRG logo at the top.  Start with the "T" on the Russ Thompson hub. And follow...
  15. 20210313 - Metal contaminants from the casting, but they won't pose a problem.
  16. 20210314 - It snowed today and that's why a lot of these pics shows our kitchen table. - BRRRRR!!!
  17. 20210314 - As you can see, I didn't use the 3d-printer adapters that were developed by (insert name here) for which were being sent to various...
  18. 20210314 - The camera on a cell phone always has that "off-kilter" appearance, but this is pretty much damn near center. 
**NOTE & TIP: You don't...
  19. 20210314 - Time to get this centered.  I made marks on the hub and measured it out carefully.  It took a few tries to get it just right.
  20. 20210313 - I think this will do just fine.
  21. 20210313 - Money!  And lots of it too!  Smooth and flush.
  22. 20210313 - I think that will do just fine!
  23. 20210313 - Filed and ready to be fit.
  24. 20210313 - Ta Da or Ta Do!  I'm not a metallurgist, but that part was cast with contaminants.  Glad it's not going on an airplane!
  25. 20210313 - Cut made and filed down flush.  Time to re-assemble it back together.
