Hi Mark,
I got the GT flares on, 21mm spacers up front and found I need more than the 6" & 7" fuchs that I had under the rolled fenders.
The 7s will go up front if I can find some good 8s.
Yes, we both have to stop in on each other sometime.

No Mark,
It's installed.
I do have one F/S from an early 911
but it's not what you would want for a 914.

Mike, isn't an early 911 front suspension what the original 914/6 came with?
I realize that later front ends with 3.5" caliper bolt spacing are more desirable so one can install vented rotors, but wouldn't an early front suspension still be usable for a 5-lug conversion?

Mark,
The A arm and strut interface is different on the early 911 and 912s
I don't think the 914-6 used this setup. Best I can tell, it fits a 64 - 67 911 or 912.
It will all fit a 914 but the arms and struts would have to stay together.
The A arms I have are rusted through so I made a jig to repair the arms.
Later, I found a local, much newer front end with turbo tie rods and poly bronze bushings.
You can see the front end here:
