            No traction devices at that time. The 5 lug conversion(5X4.5")
was done by buying new rotors,seals,etc. for a 90 dak . They're a direct
bolt on replacement for the 6 lug rotor. The rear axles were done by sending
them to Moser to be redrilled for 5 lugs (approx. $50). I have redrilled
the drums at home to accept the axles. My reason for the change was that you
can't get, to my knowledge, a 15x10 rim that is 6 lug. Secondly no company
makes a serious drag racing wheel in 6 lug!
