Joseph Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Since it's M8 and that needs a big hole drilled, it can just be drilled to 5, tapped to M6 and the rotor held in with a bit of 8 OD 6 ID tube to cover the diameter difference Edited May 8, 2022 by Joseph Quote Link to comment
Blue Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Normally you'd use a 6.8mm to tap an 8mm hole, are you using a 7.5mm due to the hardness of the steel? Quote Link to comment

Pretty much answered your own question. Yeah, last thing I needed was breaking a tap in the hole. Even at 7.5mm, there's a fair bit of pressure tapping the hole. I.m.o. tapping a 6.8mm hole would've broke the tap. I have Zeus handbook for that I normally use as my go to for drilling specs but winged it in this case. 1 Quote Link to comment
GSX1100dreamn Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) I ran into the same problem 2 years ago but did a 'temporary' fix until I get some different drill bits. 'temporary'... 2 years ago... oh well. Edited May 8, 2022 by GSX1100dreamn Added info 2 Quote Link to comment
