Okay 914 GearHeads, give me input.
Are rear hubs from a '67 911 the correct choice for a true 5-lug conversion?
Brakes... Are 3" offset "M" calipers a good choice for an budget upgrade? Are these from a mid 70's/ early 80's 911? What else is needed to convert a '72 914-4?
Thanks in advance, George.

Cap'n & Brad: My roller 914 chassis already had the 914 5 lug conversion when I bought it. It also came with a 915 transmission. There were no axles or cv's in the deal though. Can I use 69+ 911 axles? What would you recommend for a 400 hp car? I know that there are upgraded "bus" axles that are being sold for big dollars and on e-bay there are guys selling 930 adapters for sand rails. All this is a little confusing for the guy who just wants to know what he should get.

The way I understand it is the connection from transmission to wheel is as such: transmission flange connects to cv joint which connects to axle which connects to cv joint which connects to stub axle which connects to hub which connects to wheel. Is this correct? If so, my driveline would be as follows: 915 transmission hub to 69-72 911 cv to 69-72 911 axle to 69-72 911 cv to 914/6 stub axle to 69-72 hub.

Does this make sense? Or am I all buggered up?
