you do realize I would have probably PMed you the specs if you did not consistently Troll me whenever given the smallest chance... (is this all you have give to the community?)
really dont know why I bother talking to you pretty much always ends like this...
anyway why dont we let the others appreciate Chris sharing his CSL with us instead of you continuing your strange vendetta...

I need to correct your impression and as I was the one intimately involved with having the holes re drilled allow me to impart my thinking.
The Beisan hub was not copied although the Beisan principle was applied and I am sure that the Beisan info is at large and no longer proprietary knowledge.
Have a close look at the hub and the surface area surrounding the factory drilled holes.
You will notice upon close observation that the tabs surface have scored the surface of the hub.
That implies that each hub needs to be measured and the holes need to be drilled a corresponding size to the wear on the tabs.
Each tab in other words has holes drilled to its specific size.
Therefore there is no such thing as a standard size to fit in all applications.
The spacing between the holes can easily be determined from the existing dimensions and if one is technically capable a vernier is a tool known to one.
So no such thing as not seeding the torrent but more an awareness that different units will have been exposed to different wear patterns and each may require a different diameter hole being re drilled .
Should you need more info please pm me and I shall try and assist wherever possible.

A1exander: Thanks very much for the info. As you can see by the "Thank You's" Its exactly what the forum wanted. I, like most people here, logon to the forum to learn and shares experiences.
Moranor: No vendetta, was just looking for an explanation like A1exanders. Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted.
Glad to know these services are available locally. A whole lot better then having to send vanos units around the world and have them go missing. I know first hand.

calypso perhaps I am a little sensitive given past dealings...
but i dont think anyone would respond well to your tone...
I gave you Valid reasons why perhaps it was not a good idea to publish the hole specs and you accuse me of all sorts of nonsense... I consider myself a fanatic 1st and a trader 2nd... most definitely contribute a fair amount to the forum where I can...
dont get me wrong I enjoy a difference of opinion... the world would be a very boring place if we all thought the same way... some of my best friends are people I often disagree with... but when someone continuously paints you with a Jaded brush and tries to make you out to be something you not... it wears a bit thin...
anyway back to the holes...
what Peter suggests is most definitely the best way to go about it but there is also a general size that will work well...
main reason why we will not publish this spec is because drilling the holes is not a simple task and requires some calculations... If not done correctly best case is the oil pump looses some efficiency but you could also see a major mechanical failure because of it... If we publish the spec some one some where will think they know how to do it and it will go horribly wrong... could even be a workshop given good money to do the job right...
I do not want to be responsible for this... someone will think twice about doing this with no specs in hand... If they can determine the hole spec themselves there is a much bigger chance they can do the job right...
Just giving out info is not always helpful but giving the right advice is both a1exander and I have said we are willing to help out by PM this way we can give proper advice to the person...

The CSL had a minor nip and tuck, because??
Stone chips everywhere……
Before
I stripped everything and took the parts individually to the spraypainter, because first of all I did not want the car itself to be at a shop and secondly because I did not trust them to strip and reassemble everything without breaking/leaving half of the stuff out.
During
The wheels were refurbished by Hi Tech
Then a set of new front tyres
Legacy did an admirable restore on the headlight lenses. They look brand new.
