I am starting my '71 project, and decided to start with the brakes.
I found the front ones are worn out to the limit I was wondering how involved is it to go to 5 lugs on the four corners. |

In my case, I bought an entire front end from a burned out 1971 911T and bolted that on, the rear hubs I bought from HPH with their conversion kit that uses modified hubs and 914/6 rotors, I got the wheels from the same 911T.

Many different ways you can go. The easiest and most simple would be to go with early 911 front struts and M-Calipers and 911 vented front rotors. These can be used with your existing 914-4 steering, A-arms, torsion and sway bars. Then, you can get the rear 5 bolt conversion that Eric Shea of this board puts together. His company name is PMB Performance. Here is the link to his site.
www.pmbperformance.com You can then get his v-caliper kit to convert your rear 914-4 brake calipers so they will be able to handle 911 rear vented rotors. You can see what this all looks like on my "bcheney 6 conversion" posting on this board. Just do a search under bcheney. I hope this helps. |
