5-lug conversion

Does anybody have a write-up of how to do this, with pictures preferably. What parts do I need to grab off the GXL exactly to make this change?

Thanks,
Fikshun

Master cylinder, front brake lines (the whole length), calipers, rotors, brake booster. I think that was it. I did that conversion several years ago so my memory is a little foggy.

K... I found a write-up on this at http://home.rmci.net/panther/4-5conv.htm

There isn't any good pics to go off tho.

rotarygod... thx for the info... is the brake booster necessary? It doesn't mention it on the write-up at all.

Also, if anybody has some good pics to go with it, please post them.

HUH?

No need for the master, no need for the hardlines.

You need the hubs, rotors, calipers, and the 10" hardlines that come off the caliper for the front.

For the rear, hubs, rotors, and calipers.

The front hardlines on mine were physically smaller. The brake booster was physically smaller as well. I did the initial conversion with the calipers and rotors only but couldn't stop for crap. Took foreve to figure it out but the lines and the booster were both a problem.
