will rear 914 6 hubs work w/ 914 4 axle shafts? Options

[pnewman]

Sorry for the newbie question. I am looking at putting a pair of 914 6 rear swing arms on my 914 4 lugger to do the 5 lug conversion thing and was concerned about the 4 bolt axle shafts fitting through the hubs.

I am sure this is a no brainer for you guys.

thanks, Pete

AA 411 front suspension is coil over struts, like a super beetle. The only parts that May be the same are the early rotors, and possibly the calipers. The Cap'n

i stand corrected.... it was my understanding that the 914 borrowed its front suspension from a 411/412...

so they made a new setup identical to a 911.... just the splines are different.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
