I want to install a later style 911 sway bar on my '71 914. I am not going to 5 lug and I do not want to get into changing the struts on my '71 or swapping an entire 911 front suspension onto the car. I just want to use the later 911 under the body sway bar with the early 914 struts & non vented brakes.
I know I need the tabs for the A-arms. Can I use the 911 A-arms and keep my early struts? Will the early 914 balljoints work in the 911 A-arms? Do I need the aluminum cross member from the 911? TIA |

Soooo, I just noticed that one of the random items left in the trunk of my new project roller is an underbody front sway bar.... This is actually good news for me, for a few reasons. My new roller did not have a stock thru body bar installed, so i would need to do some drilling. Bigger problem though, the thru bar and accessories i have from my first roller are kind of messed up, well two components in particular, just the brackets that attach to the bar have very oval-ed "once square" holes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (Eric can surely attest to that since he platted them for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) )
I would like to run this under body bar because although i will eventually be racing my 914, that wont be for a few years, and im broke right now, so i dont want to put more money into the stock bar when i will want to replace it in a few years. so in the mean time, a solid, street, non-adjustable, under body bar, that many street people seem to like should be fine for me, and very low cost (brackets, bushings, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif), done) My questions is, can i still use my stock 914 a-arms and stock torsion bars? i realize i will need to weld on the different mounting tabs, but thats not a problem at all. Also as stated above, will have to drill and tap two holes, also not a big deal at all. Opinions? Thanks |
