A machine shop with a dividing head on a Bridgeport mill would be the most accurate method, but a center for an original widowmaker wheel would make a very acceptable drilling template as long as it's centered properly. Either chamfer the holes for lug-centered wheels, or make a spacer ring to press onto the hub for a hub-centered wheel with flat lug nuts. Jerry
