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? |

So you take a 914/4 caliper and bore it out?
Nice! |

Not enough meat from a 33 to a 38mm bore. Porsche did it with the Wide L-Caliper but they went from 35mm to 38 and that dust boot flange is paper thin. The -6 rear caliper is somewhat of an anomaly. I guess that's why they're so rare. It's really just a 911 rear caliper with that handbrake back 1/2 incorporated. It's good to have a new version available because it's really tailor made for our light cars. |
