I am getting ready to finish my 5 lug conversion on my 82. I have it complete but have been looking for a better way to do the rear, since i had to re drill the hubs myself. It looks like i might be going with the ree speed big brake conversion kit for the rear that lets me put second gen rotors and calipers on the rear and puting the ree speed re drilled 5 lug hubs on as well. I put the ree speed big brake kit on the front along with second gen rotors and calipers. Does any one have pictures of their first gen with the 5 lug conversion with or without the second gen brakes on the back. It would be nice to see what it will look like when its all said and done. Thanks

 

I have a 5 lug conversion front and rear... Not really the same setup your talking about though, I have the Grannysspeedshop 8.8" TA/SA rear end setup and I used a wilwood big brake kit.

 

I have the complete RE-Speed kit both front and rear. You will need to order the Moser Axles to get the rear to be 5 lug as there are no hubs on the rear of our FB's.

On the bottom half of this page there are some pics of when I did the swap.

Good luck,

when i said hubs i was thinking about the end of the axle shafts where the lug holes are. sorry, i guess there just the ends of the axle shafts?? did you use the moser axles from re speed. I was planning on getting them. did you have to get any other parts besides the second gen rotors and calipers? By the way...Looks SWEET !! Cant wait to get mine looking the same. Hows the braking, you notice a big difference? you have any pictures of the wheels on the the car? Thanks for the help

another question i had. is the inside diameter of the second gen rotors the same as the out edge of the axles. In other words when you put the second gen rotors over the axles, is it a tight fit or is there space in between both.

 

ID of rotor is larger than the OD of the axles, Why do you ask?

just wondering if it was going to be a tight fit, or if there was going to be space between the two. i guess it doesn't matter does it.

 

We designed the axles to mate with the TurboII rotors. The rotor is centered on the axle with a hub centric spud.
