The caption lines essentially cover it all.
Can the steering wheels of the sixes fit the fours and vice versa? Specifically, can the wheels shown as advertised for one also fit the other? Although I've not verified it yet in any tech manual, I've got the sense that the answer is no, just based on reading the tech info found in eBay ads. Can anyone here confirm my suspicion here or not? note: extra credit given to those who bother to answer and include a description of the physical differences Thanks |

QUOTE(db9146 @ Apr 14 2015, 11:48 PM)  Ahhhh, I was looking for an answer to this burning question and no videos!!!!! Early 4 wheels and 6 wheels are the same. They just use different parts to cancel the turn signal. Late 4 wheels are the same spline but use a different plastic hub. Spline count on all 4 wheels are the same as well as early 911 wheels. early 4 and 70-71 6 wheels bolt onto a 911. if the model number ends in 10, its early, if it ends in 11, its late. late 4 wheels require a small mod to fit on early 911 but no mod to fit early 914-4. 914-6 uses the same cancel ring as early 911 |
