Some years ago I read that brad Roberts was building these hubs that would allow us 4 lug guys the chance to use vented rotors. Apparently for some reason they can't be found anywhere. I have invested $$$ in aftermarket wheels and want to stay with 4 lugs.
Does anyone here have any information about these hubs? Maybe drawings or something, so I can have a set machined. Thanks Zach |

I have a machine shop, and we're ALWAYS looking for stuff to do. I reverse-engineered a set of hubs for my old Comet, to convert the square-flange 4-lug to round flange 5-lug...but the flange could be drilled for anything. Mine were made of steel with the separate flange welded on and finish machined. I saw photos of Brad Roberts' AL hubs on the other 914 forum some years ago. Drawings would make it real easy to estimate costs, and I'd love to have a look.

I also want to say there was an issue with them being used on the very early struts and ideally one would want 71 and newer struts? Anyone remember that or know if there is a difference in front strut assemblies? |
