I wrote one up for my rampage and submitted it to Barry Goodall at the  
SDAC. I'll see if I can find what I typed up.

However it isn't all that hard to do the conversion.  Just look in  
your repair manual at how to replace wheel bearings and service the  
brakes.

On your car, I would take the front suspension uprights off and take  
them to a machine shop to replace the bearings and hubs with 5-lug  
versions.

You'll need new rotors but you find that you can use the same brake  
calipers with 5-lug versions of your existing rotors.  Replace the  
pads and bleed the brakes while you are in there.

The rear is easy, just hit the local yard and get a set of 5-lug drums  
in the same diameter as yours and have them turned, order a set of  
shoes, bearings and maybe wheel cylinders then reassemble it as normal.

Again, follow the books advise on servicing those parts, don't skimp  
and keep everything clean and free of grease (except for the parts  
that need to be greased of course)

If you're looking to upgrade to turbo car, minivan or 11" brakes,  
search for "SLH" and you'll have the proper parts list.

Good luck!
