5" Orbital Conversion Kit - Griot's Garage
More expensive than what? Rupes?
Feed back please
Hard to tell exactly from the picture but they look to be about a inch thick?
Thin in in...

5 inch Backing Plates on Meguiar's, Griot's and Porter Cable DA Polishers
Here's some pictures showing the size of different backing plates on the popular Meguiar's Griot's and Porter Cable DA Polishers.
The Griot's and Meguiar's DA Polishers come with 6" backing plates and the Porter Cable by itself does not come with a backing plate.
If you want to use 5.5" foam pads on any of these tools you'll need to remember to order a separate backing plate when your order your polishers.
