Rear Caliper ADAPTERS & Front 944 Hubs, Experience and Comments appreciated Options

[ajracer]

Help Needed, and this is the PLACE to GO !

Here we go with a couple of inquiries and assistance needed:

1/ WILL my 944 Front Hubs WORK on my 911 struts (3.5" spacing) ?

2/ And WILL the 30mm front rotors to bolt to my 944 FRONT hubs ?

3/ REAR - WHAT do I need for ADAPTERS to bolt my 944 turbo calipers to the Stock
914 Rear Control Arms ? What is the best and most common way to do this ?
(Note: the 944 turbo calipers appear to be about 3.75" bolt spacing; I plan
on using Carrera rotors on the rear.)

4/ Anyone have adapter templates (from 3.0" to 3.75" spacing for the rear caliper
mounts ??)

All replies and comments are greatly appreciated, ever if another method is suggested.
Thanks again and awaiting your replies.

mikey, whats the spacing on the RX7 calipers?

something like 6.25" or so.....the only methods I can think of to mount them are:

1) weld new mounting ears to struts or trailing arm....I don't like this method for the front struts, but others have succefully done this with no problems...I have no problem welding the rear trailing arm, maybe I only trust my welding to a certain degree (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

2) use rotors with a different offset (centerline of the rotor) and or use a larger diameter rotor...this is what I am doing on the front, my rotors will be 12.19" diameter instead of the stock 11" diameter, also, my rotors will be mounted with aluminum hats that bolt to the 911 hub with a slightly different offset so that the rotor will be ~.25 closer to the rims than with the stock setup...an adapter will be used to bolt the RX-7 caliper to the stock strut.
