I have a set of early 3" 911T front struts that I need to get hubs for.. is there any chance that a set from a 911S (991 version) would work ? I found a smoking deal on 'em..
narrow body car if that matters, cookie cutter or deep six replicas being considered. TIA. |

..I'm going to have to measure the front hubs on my '74 with the fuchs but eyeballing through the rim I think it's also 47mm. Yes, please do check for me the next time you have wheels off, appreciated! .. I imagine the 40's will work as well, just 7mm narrower on each side. True, the 7mm is not a big deal for tire placement - BUT the thing is, only one hub (either 40mm or 47mm) is going to be the correct hubs for the Brembo cals/Vented rotors combo, specifically. ..The M calipers would have spacers between the halves to accommodate the vented rotors. I'm not certain about the hubs, but somehow I think that solid rotor had a different (thinner) hub. Yes, like the Brembo rotors, which is why it's important that I get the right hub. So I was wondering which hubs the M rotored cars used. ... I did put unvented M calipers and rotors on the front of my conversion car and everything worked fine with early (non hub centric) hubs. So, you're saying that you removed the spacers from the M calipers and used solid rotors and 36mm hubs? |
