I want to do a 5 lug conversion, and went and talked to Bill at Eason Auto Works in Oakland. He said he could do it, and the best way to go about it was sourcing front struts from a 74-81 911sc - complete with brakes. He also said it was going to be tough to find.
I've looked a little online, and it seems a little bleak, but also I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for. Is there a photo or list or something that shows me absolutely everything I will need? Minimally? Maximally? Also, what's the best way to go about finding these things? What would you do? Any info would be much appreciated. |

You’ll likely need new rotors, brake rebuild kits, and ball joints you can source from pmb
