I was wondering if I can use 911 front hubs. I can not find a front suspension for my 5-lug conversion. If I can use 911 front hubs what years?

thanks

You need the entire front strut assembly. The 911 strut will bolt onto the 914 A-arm (just be sure it's the right ball joint - there were two types of attachments), and then you should be all set. I upgraded mine to 911 Carrera struts (84-89 type) to get the larger brakes, and it fits easily.

Look around, you should be able to find some struts fairly easily from the usual used parts sources. If you use some from 911SCs or later, you will also have the larger bolt spacing that allows for larger brake calipers if you wish.
