Rear 5-lug Conversion, Gauging Interest... Options

[Eric_Shea]

Hi Gang,

While the front suspension seems to be a breeze (bolt on a 911 set-up), I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a turn key (bolt them on) rear conversion?

Kit would contain:

2 Control Arms - Bead blasted to bare metal. Checked for straightness. Repainted with POR-15.
2 New Wheel Bearings
2 Rebossed and drilled 5-lug Hubs. Factory 45mm Studs. Set in the new wheel bearings.

I was thinking $450 plus your loaded/usable control arms as cores (control arms and hubs).

So for $450 you have basically "brand new" control arms, bearings and 5-lug hubs ready to go. You'd have to buy 914-6 rotors.

Doable? Anything I'm missing? You could add items at will (Mueller bearings, Box kits etc...).

Thoughts?

for steel parts, I've left them in cleaner for a few weeks with no problem

Yeah, you got lucky on that one.

I've been using the Super Clean to get the grime and overspray from a bad paint job off my wiring harness. I'm using it with fine steel wool and it's working good. I'm holding final judgement for when I see it in a real degreasing situation, though not much stacks up well to aerosol brake cleaner.
