I have a pair of hubs that should fit your struts. I am in Riverside. If you come down here you can try them out.

1969 and later (which in 911-land is basically through 1989 at least) the spindles (and therefore hubs) are the same. (Technically, even the very early spindles and hubs are the same - but the very early struts are not, and if it were going to get iffy it'd be with the solid-rotor hubs.)

Actually, the hubs aren't all the same. Hubs made for non-vented rotors are different. The Cap'n

I wondered about that. It appears that 1969 911T still had solid disks front. 1969 E, S, and all Sporto had vented, and by 1970, everything did.

You can use them all but, they're all different.

Solod rotor hubs will work in a vented circumstance but your calipers will hit the wheels with most wheels.

As they went to vented rotors the hubs widened the spacing. When they switched to A-Calipers they got an even wider stance.

Good advice herein... stick with a 70+ hub and you should be good to go.

You could alwasys try what I got on my car...

930 brakes with vented rotors. Not cheap though...

Wilwoods are nice. I had them on my Mopar.

my trunk was totally rotten so it didn't bother me to cut it out. so my engine ended up nice and high and ground clearance is perfect.
