I'm picking up this suspension from a 72 911T for my 5-lug conversion.
For the front, I need just the uprights/hubs/rotors/calipers. For the rear, I would like to use at least the hub. I've heard the spline is different than the 914 half shaft. What do I have to do to use the hub? What about the vented rotor? The rear calipers are gone. I can use spacers on my existing 914 calipers. Is it worth it to use vented rotors on the rear. If I decide to stay with solid rotor, do I order 914/6 rotors? Thanks in advance. Attached image(s)

QUOTE but be sure to use longer, proper grade, bolts. This is what I run on the rear of my car with vented rotors. Works great. Where did you get the fasteners? QUOTE What do I have to do to use the hub? Ahhh. you got the bargin suspension. Good work. Someone was asking about it but... You have all of the parts... all you need are axles (and maybe tranny flanges): http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=91963 QUOTE If I decide to stay with solid rotor, do I order 914/6 rotors? Yes... then have them milled by 4mm in total diameter. With the price of -6 rotors right now, it's cheaper to buy -4 rotors and have them machined to 5x130 (you would have to machine both if you stuck with stock -4 calipers). |
