Will a '69 911 front brake rotor bolt right on to the front of the 914 with any mods?

unless you have 911 struts/hubs...NO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

two totally different designs, the 914/4 has a one piece hub and rotor (cast iron) the 911 uses a rotor that bolts onto a cast aluminum hub

if you have and want to keep your 4 lug wheels and want vented rotors, watch this space next week for details (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

I bought the car with 5 lugs all around but my front rotors need replacing and I am trying to find out what my setup is. I've looked at the rotors and it has 5 lugs coming out (obviously) but I don't know if my current rotors are an aftermarket part or modified stock rotor?
The previous owner said he's got some '69 911 rotors that he thinks will fit but won't be able to pull 'em out and check unitl next week sometime.

I'm looking for any info I can. I've searched this site and come up with modifying the stock rotors by redrilling and pressin in the lugs.



Any help/info would be appreciated!!!

when you look at the front hub it'll be painfully obvious if you have aluminum or steel hubs....

This is exactly what it looks like except for the sorry shape the braking surface is in!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I guess I've got redrilled rotors. Anyone know a machine shop in San Diego that will redrill rotors?
