I just recently purchased a '67 912, which has the early 911/912 front suspension. I'm finding that the ball joints on these units to be NLA, and it's looking like I may need to swap to the later units just to get new ball joints.
I'd like to keep as much of the stock setup as I can, mostly for cost reasons, so: Did they also switch to the 3.5" caliper spacing with the new ball joints? Can the old front cross-member be used with newer A-arms? Hubs are compatible? Tie rod ends? Would 914 parts work (keeping the 912 front hubs)? |
