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) |

Not sure why you would want a 914 CV when you have those bad boys staring you in the face... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
The cheapest way to go 5-lug is to sell all that stuff to Enrique (I see him lurking here) and get some modififed -4 hubs and pocket the change. The best way would be to keep that stuff and grab some Sway-a-Way axles for $308.00 and see if the guy you bought it all from still has the tranny flanges. Bullet - Proof. If you sell the arms (front and rear) and various other goodies, it could help pay for the axles. |
