The big problem is lack of it now being hub centric, and going to lug centric. Which was told to me to cause a slight wobbling innsome cases. That can lead to a broken hub.

I have done it before, but I had access to a lathe to thin the face some to get some hubcentric action going. I had access to proper disks from a known manufacturer so I didn't feel I had a cheap metal problem coming.

Remember if you do that. They have proper arc welding rods to weld to cast iron
