I bought 2 disassembled 914s from the same guy. One a 1971 1.7 and a 1974 2.0. Unfortunately they are all jumbled together.
For instance I see one front end has a stabilizer bar and the other doesn't. What else is different, brake cylinders? Steering components ? Many thanks! |

The easiest way to separate is to grab all of the single bleeder calipers, the A-arms without sway bar, and the struts that are split where the ball joint is fitted to the strut, and there is a bolt & nut pinning the split closed. Front brake rotors should not have a ring to center the wheel. This is the 72 and earlier.
The 1974 will have dual bleed nipples on all calipers, the A-arms with sway bar, and the struts that are not split where the ball joint is fitted to the strut, and there is a (wedge) pin & nut securing the ball joint. Front rotors will have a ring outside of the bearing cap and the ring should snugly fit the center of a wheel. |
