RE: JPOR: drilling 5-5.5" bolt circle on 6-5.5" axle shafts

Here in the Midwest the 20's are plentiful. The jeep bodies just rust off
around them, leaving the drivetrain intact!  Call Dutchman for a quote too
on their own axles and redrilling yours.

			Has anyone drilled a Wagoneer  rear axle shaft to
fit the CJ 
		bolt pattern.   I was thinking that I could have a template
machined 
		to locate the the new bolt circle.   Then I could drill the
holes on 
		my drill press with the right setup.   I would use one
existing hole 
		and have the weld in 2 of the holes.   How is everyone else
doing 
		this?   Does anyone know how much it costs to have Moser do
this? 
		You can hardly find a CJ AMC20 in the Southwest and narrow
track 
		Wagooner axles are plentiful and only about $125.

		Thanks
