This 914 came to me with 6x16 Fuchs wheels with the rears riding on 1" thick 5 bolt adapters. The prior reworked the rear fenders into some sort of mini flare for tire clearance.

The flares are not working for me so I have some body work to do. I bought a pair of 5 lug hubs to move the wheels in but need to fix the 4 lug brake disks. I figured I'd have a go at drilling them myself so made up a template in CAD. The attached pdf will print to scale on a 8-1/2 x 11" printer..... if you have the need.

I worked on one side today and got it back about 75% with various hammers and dollies. I'm now going to split it vertically in the center so that stretched metal has a place to go then I can trim out the excess and weld it back. I'll post a pic when I make more progress.

Close enough for bondo. Also the rear brake disc are fairly easy to drill.
