Someone will have to take pictures the next time a conversion is performed, however it is no different than replacing your existing calipers with existing calipers (except you are using larger replacements).

It is a bolt on affair.

If you get 1G GSX brakes you will need 1G brake lines as the fitting is different. Just a FYI

For future reference

1G Dual piston caliper = Screw in brake line fitting.

2G Dual piston caliper = Banjo fitting.

IF you are ordering SS brake lines from say RRE (Road Race Engineering) specify to them which style you need and they will build them accordingly for you.

I've got a few pictures with some nice rusty rotors. They aren't that great but I'm sure they will do until someone gets better ones.

Can a mod pm me an address they want the pictures sent to so they can update the write up. I didn't see where I could update it myself.

Well the current one is sorta hacked together mainly because it's an old writeup from around 01-02 that was specific with its own pictures. Since the original pictures are no longer available the ones Islandertalon needed help uploading are now put in there where they "made sense" with the writeup. It's not the greatest, but it gives people an idea an ideally, we're talking brakes here, its not quite "rebuilding a motor" so...

If anything MB, maybe do another writeup separately with the pictures you used? If not, no biggie I suppose.
