Wheel conversion

Today, Mr. Butler and I (Ben), picked up parts for our brake conversion system. Our list consisted of new calipers, rotors, hubs, and spindles. Our goal is to convert the stock four lug rotors and brakes to a five lug system. This is simply for more braking power and a wider selection of wheels. We also picked up new tail light systems to replace the broken ones on the rear of the car.

This is the stock rear drum brake. Our initiative is to replace the axles to five lug disc.


This is a quick shot of the removal of the 4-lug right front wheel.



We'll later have an updated set of photos and info showing our brake conversion.
