I recently bought new rotors for my 74 but they are too small in diameter so they won't slide all the way on. They were purchased based on model year so I'm confident that I was sent the proper size. The seller suggested that the spindles aren't original so I've tried to find the diameter of a 74 spindle but can't find it anywhere. I was sure my Haynes would have it listed, but no luck there. Google had nothing as well. If anyone here has that info I would appreciate it. Thanks.

The early vs late struts have a different offset for the caliper Mounting. 911 struts have a larger spindle. What is the brand and part number marked on the package and what part number did you order. .abd chance you have 5 lug 811 struts |

I will recheck the part numbers on what I was sent versus what I ordered in a bit. The seller did confirm what I ordered was/is correct for my MY car and what they shipped was correct and then suggested the possibility of different spindles. I will double check though. Thanks for your help.

What about the wheel bearings? New rotors generally don't come with bearings. Did you get new ones or swap them from the old rotors?
