So, after having had the pleasure to drive this beautiful, unmolested, all original, 37k miles 914-6 today, i can't help but wonder if we should attempt to list all the differences between an early /6 and early /4 in terms of originality.
I believe it would be of tremendous help to have a list of things "to look for" when doing a PPI on such a time-capsule. What do ya'all think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy  |

Didn't see that anyone had yet mentioned the fact the that Fours have the "hub-centric" rotor, with the integrated hub/rotor assembly. Hopefully I've got that terminology correct...
Quick aside ~ I'm looking for a thread similar to this, but one that compares the differences of the Sixes across the '70-'72 model years. Does one exist? thanks |

QUOTE(Lavanaut @ Jun 10 2008, 12:02 PM)  Didn't see that anyone had yet mentioned the fact the that Fours have the "hub-centric" rotor, with the integrated hub/rotor assembly. The front suspension in the 914/6 is substantially different from the 914/4. The 911T donated the front suspension for the 914/6. The 914/4 used a strut design that was somewhat similar, but the brakes were VW411, the A-arms & torsion bars used a different spline count, and the steering rack was very similar. Ball joints and tierod ends were 911. The 914/4 rotor (VW411) combined the hub and bearings. There were three versions of the rotor: early and mid were not hub-centric, the last one was. Mid and late had a different offset from the early version; this matched the changes to the front strut, ball joint & calipers in very late 1972 MY. Late calipers had two bleed screws and thicker pads. The thicker pads required the rotor to be set out a little farther. The introduction of hub-centric required modifications to many rims as well. |
