Machining drums to be used as hubs?

[GS guy]

Why not just go with the CB chromoly hubs? (from their race strength disc brake kit)

BTDT on machining down some drums. That cast iron is hard material, requires carbide tooling. A lot of work involved, you have to make a good fitting mandrel to hold-em while machining, lots of cutting and machining time, etc. If you were paying someone to do the work you'd likely be much $$ ahead getting the CB hubs.

I just looked at their website per your suggestion and didn't see any front hubs as you mentioned.

Oops, didn't seen any specific references to front hubs.
I was referring to the rear CB hubs.

I think the only aftermarket front VW hubs I've seen are Vdub Engineering and Airkewld.
