5-lug Conversion from 72 911T, Questions on Rear Hub Use Options

[Spoke]

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.

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.

Well, I'm trying to 5-lug with as low of initial cost as possible. The cost so far is not insignificant but also not that great: Got the wheels ($400), need tires ($500), 19mm MC ($200), F&R suspension ($150), Probably new front inserts ($150), probably rebuild 4 calipers ($25 each), rear caliper widening kit for vented rotor ($225), Maybe new rotors ($300).

I would like to start with the 914 CV, then later move to the 911 CV and new half-shafts with 911 trans flanges.
