I just bought this '74 2.0, and started investigating things. I quickly discovered that the wheel hubs have studs, and they are screwed in, and not pressed in. Previous owner was using 911 lugs on these.
Is this common? Is it safe? Attached image(s)

I've seen, sold and installed many of these during my first 20+ year career in tires. But like Dave, I'm not a fan of them. I normally prefer original style lug bolts, although I can see the advantage on the rear of a 914 where there is no hub-centering effect.
I will say that in all those years, I never saw any come loose or cause problems, assuming normal care during installation. |
