I have all new calipers from Eric Shea to install on our '71 914, and need to install new rotors when it all goes together. I was thinking about installing hub-centric rotors.
Is this possible utilizing the existing early front struts? What about the rear? |

See if this helps:
Late Struts (install your Bilstein inserts) Late Backing Plates (different from early VW Type 3) Late brake hard lines (early can be used just different configuration) Late brake flex hose Late Calipers |

This is what you will need to do for a late front end set up. And if you don't already have one...put a stock sway bar in with adjustable drop link while you are there. |

I appreciate the 'freebie' strut offer too! Mark Epstein also offered up a free pair, but he's even further east (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) ... going to try to source a pair locally first. Yes, Rob, I will be installing a stock bar that I got from THOMAS many years ago, David Feltzer's custom arm and drop-link set up, and an pair of reinforcement plates that Mark Bland (Engman) made.
