[Shotimes] SHO vs. T-Bird bolt patterns

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

Well you don't redrill them in the same holes!  Sheesh.

You put a new pattern in between the original one.  Then swap the studs
to the new pattern.  If the rotor is beefy enough, you shouldn't have a
strength issue.  In theory, you could adopt just about any pattern.
