I have a line on a 69 912 front and rear suspension.
Would this be a viable donor to set a 914 up for 5-lug? Are any of the rear parts applicable, i.e. hubs/axels, calipers? Would Cookie cutter rims fit this set up on a narrow body car? |

Ovaling is a problem but not crazy prevalent. As mentioned herein, if you have this issue, we simply cut the bases off a pair of late model 914 struts and weld them on. We did this recently for Jamie Rusts rare 3.5" Koni struts. He sold them for $1599.00
Also... rear 914-6 calipers keep the same bias ratio with the 911/912 fronts. Aint cheap but, after you weld on bits and try to incorporate a 911 handbrake with varying results of success in the adjustment arena... I'll pretty much guarantee you'll want these: https://www.pmbperformance.com/914-brakes/9...r_Calipers.html |

When did this happen? That is amazing if these are new castings and reproduction of the hard to find and nearly always in need of a rebuild original /6 calipers. And the option for vented rotors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
