I want to convert the rear of my '72 to 5-lug. I know I can get the rear hubs redrilled. But what about changing everything.

I have been offered the hubs and 1/2-shafts from a '71 911. Can I just bolt them on? Is it that simple?

no, the 911 axle is too short ...
there are several solutions out there, but all of them require some machining ...

do a search here for my description of a 944 based solution ...
