What year/model Porsche used a rear non-vented rotor ? 70/71 914-6 90135240118 Is that the same diameter as the stock 4 lug rotor ? No the 4 cylinder rotors are about 4mm smaller outside diameter than the 6 cylinder rotors. I'm in the middle of a 5 lug conversion right now. The 4 rotors measure approx 281mm and the 6 rotors measure 285. Measurements are approx since I measured with a cheap tape measure. Jim |

Jim Thanks, just what I wanted to know; will the additional 2mm of radius still fit into the stock caliper ? 2 mm doesn’t seem like much…. |

It seems that the 6 rotors work and clear the caliper for some and don't work for others. The 5 lug hubs I am installing are converted 4 lug hubs that I pulled from some used trailing arms I have, two sets. Both sets of arms were converted to 5 lug, both use stock 4 calipers, 1 has redrilled 4 lug rotors and 1 has the 6 cylinder 5 lug rotors. Jim |
