Ok on a 75 I'm looking for all kinda seals for the windows, doors, trunk both of them, and the top. Is there any diy type or a cheaper alternative then oem. Also I've been looking for wheels for the car, it has the 911 brake upgrade, so its the 5x130 pattern. There isn't much options for that pattern unless I want to put some 20's on the car, not going to happen. And I don't want the fuch just not my style. So is there another option to change the bolt pattern like from a bmw 302. Now I'm going to descibe this part to you, but forgive me I don't know all the parts on the car by name yet. Its part of the front suspension its the tube looking thing that runs from left to right with the stearing rack. There seems to be some adjustment nut on each side of it that has a square end. It connects to another thing that runs toward the front of the car. You would have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this out. Any ways if someone can identify what I'm talking about how should this be, right now the adjustment nut is completely loose and the part it adjusts is wobbly.

There are "outside the box solutions" out there. I managed to snag a set of billett front hubs and redrilled rear hubs at 4x114.5 bolt pattern. This allows a MASSIVE selection of rims and 911 front disks with M calipers.

When I received the hubs, I did have the old rear 4x120 holes filled, the 4x114.5 holes gusseted and the whole things normalized. I used to snap hubs on my scirocco and didn't want to repeat that experience (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

If I didn't fall into this setup, I was going to look into the 4x100 rear hubs off the audi 4000. They use the same bearings, and I've got a suspicion (albeit not confirmed) that they may fit our half shafts.
