Hi All, can anyone clarify if all front hubs are the same. Can anyone give me any leads to clear things up. I tried looking up parts catalog at Pelican, but they dont show that part. I even tried a search for 'hub' and nothing came up, strange ? Any leads or information is appreciated. I am trying to see if a 1968 912 front hub will fit onto a 1986 911 strut.

thanks in advance
Ted

Here's my .02,,,,

I have a set of hubs I cleaned up from an early 911 that had vented rotors. I purchased a set of 1969 911 front struts with solid rotors. Both hubs have the same part # 901 341 605 3R!! Now if there is a difference,, it should be negligible sp? because Porsche would have used a different part #,,, right?

When I searched www,,, I came upon this site

http://www.vdubengineering.com/technical/conversions.htm

and that dood says the same hub was also used on mid 80s 944. I would think that most 5 lug hubs for standard suspension Porsche cars all had 901 341 605 3R hubs. I think there are different hubs like skline says,, but those are for turbos, and other special run vehicles, that had much larger tires/spacers, etc. Porsche does not throw out good engineered parts, they use them over and over again.

well that's what I think,,, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
