What suspension and brake parts fit a 71 and 74?, I have jumbled parts from both years. Options

[overmyhead]

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!

Thanks guys.

I think I can sort out the 74 parts from the 71 now.

Turns out I have 3 sets of trailing arms just to make it more interesting.

Also, I have a set of Porsche Fuch rims off my 85 911.

I am sure this has been covered hundreds of times on this forum but I haven't had time to research converting from 4 lug wheels to 5.

Is it just ordering the new Brake discs with 5 lugs or more involved? Will the lug spacing match the Porsche rims?

Thanks again

If you are talking about having a 914/6 suspension, they I can tell you that very few parts are the same. At the front, the A-arms, struts, calipers and rotors are 911, not 914/4; or at least you can drop in a 911 front suspension easily, but there are minor differences in the shocks and torsion bars if you go by part #'s. In the rear the axles, stub axles, hubs rotors and calipers are all unique to the 914/6. You can fudge things up to make it work but you need to pay attention to detail; a lot depends on what components you convert or replace. The factory did not make it easy with all of the unique parts that the 914/6 used.
