I haven't had the opportunity to dismantle my front end... yet. I was under the impression that...
  1. The torsion bar spline fits the leading edge of the control arm
  2. The 914 torsion bar spline is smaller diameter than the 911 one

So the 911 arm is not identical to the 914. I see in PET that the part number for the 914-6 control arms match the 911.

I'm posting it because a reliable 914 source locally has told me that they are interchangable (911 / 914-4) but I didn't believe so.

Thanks to anyone who can clear this up.

The a-arms are interchangeable as long as you change the whole arm, including the torsion bars.

I have a complete 911 frontend, including 911 a-arms and 911 torsion bars.
It all bolts directly into the 914.

If i'm reading your post correctly, that's what your "914 source" told you, in which case he was right.
