Trying to go 5 lug on a budget, I had these 911 front hubs on the shelf and was curious if they would work. They seem to fit fine, the bearings all sit where they need to, the only issue I can see is the inner bearing seal not fitting the spindle, no problem really, just get a custom seal from the local auto parts store.
The car is a '73. Does anyone see a problem with this? Thanks Kevin  |

May be an issue with the rotor and existing 914 caliper. Not sure if there are early 911 solid rotors as the 914 caliper is for solid rotor.

Some early 911's/912's used solid rotors, but I plan on using vented rotors with either M calipers or these 4 piston calipers. I expect to have to machine some material of the caliper mounting ears either way as I think the mounting offset changed in '73.

You have to have a 911 strut to use the 911 hub. A former unnamed member here used to make a conversion hub to use the 911 rotor and vented disc on the 914 strut. I have not seen on in about 10 yrs now.

That appears to be either a very early 911 hub (which should not fit on a 914 spindle) or a 65 356C hub. The hub does not look familiar at all. Again, 911 spindles are larger than 914 spindles so I'm not sure how that is fitting on that spindle unless there's some different bearings over stock in there.

ok, they are 911 hubs but it looks like someone had some sleeves made up and pressed in so that it now works with 914 bearings. I checked this by taking the bearings out of the 914 rotor/hub setup.
The outside of the hubs have been turned down some also. A few more pics of the hubs.  |
