I have a ‘73 6 conversion 2.7l and a previous owner put on bmw brakes with stock 4 lug wheels. The car drives fine but I want to put on 5 lug Fuchs, which I have. I also have 911 struts with calipers that need to be refinished. I’ll get pmb involved for this. The calipers are not the fancy light weight version. Here’s my question…would it be worth the effort and $ to locate a full steering rack instead of just using the struts I have? Should I consider buying the lighter calipers rather than getting my current 911 calipers refinished? Would love to hear from people that have done this… Note: I’m just driving, not racing. The 5 lug Fuchs don’t fit over the bmw caliper.
