The GSL-SE is also a 4 bolt.

Try www.cpracing.ca for this:

79-85 RX-7 4x110 to 5 Bolt Wheel Adapters

Lightbulb FC hubs on FB?

On this subject, does anyone know if hubs for FC will fit on FB GSL with rear Discs?
I really want to upgrade that would give me better choices on rims. The FB is 4x110 and the FC is 5x114.3.

Can anyone advise or tell me who to ask?

you cn either get the adapters from CP racing, as stated above, or if you want to upgrade your brakes as well you can wait a few weeks and get a kit from respeed to put the second gen 4 piston calipers and bigger rotors on the front. when doing this upgrade you would have to either get a set of the adapters for the rear or just get the rear we drilled for the 5 lug pattern.

2nd gen hub/brake upgrade

You can get some idea what is involved by looking at the parts I used:

www.cardomain.com/ride/646433

This is a fairly significant engineering and fabrication project, not something you can do on a weekend with a hammer and a few wrenches! If anyone is offering you the conversion parts for front and rear for less than $1000, I would be very suspicious of the quality. I posted a fairly detailed writeup on here somewhere, but I can't remember where.
