I 'm wanting to get some blank front rotors and get them drilled in another stud pattern, has anyone had this done in Melbourne somewhere ?
Hoppers stoppers do them but they want $360/pair when they are only $120/pair to buy. These are for a car not 4by.

I did this years ago for my Torana. Bought blank HQ discs and had the Torana stud pattern drilled in.

If your friendly with a local auto parts store they can get blanks from either DBA or RDA. It just takes a little while.

To get them drilled take it to a reputable diff place that does shortening and modifications. They should have all the gear to do it as most buy blank axles from the states and then drill to suit a local application..

any engineering/machine shop with a mill and digital read out can drill them what ever patern and stud size you want.

At one place I worked, I did a heap of blank DBA rotors to suit drive stud and single wheel nut. Drilled and bored stud holes to 10.20mm. these just slid onto the hub. I'm not sure what they went onto but they were huge. We did work for V8 supercar teams so could have been one of them.

I had some done for a lancer that I fitted evo brakes. I got them through DBA but you have to wait for tem to be doing a bach they wont make single sets. Production cost are too high. If they are from a common car you should be ok
