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:

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)
