I finally made some progress with my five lug swap.

I am using 69-73 911 flanges, axels, hubs, 911 ebrake, boxster monoblocks and SC rotors.

one side is completely finished, I hope to have the other side finished today too.

The front will happen next month.

and the KYB's make them perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

you'll have to give me a blow by blow on how you did this. I've got 71 911t front end and rear hubs, brakes, ebrake, rotors, mittlemotor stub axles etc. I wasn't planning on getting more then the rear hubs but the seller of the front end through in all the rear stuff. Now my question is to add the 911 ebrake or just widen my 914 calipers (assuming I use the vented rear rotors i got).

But I have to say, that pic of your job sure looks sweet! Excellent work!

Use the complete 911 axle from trans flange through cv axles and to stub axle.

The the 911 hub on the outer side of the trailing arm.

The trailing arms have to be modified (ground down) to accept the 911 ebrake setup.

I have no idea where i will get cables to work this.

The early 911(69-84) calipers are 3 inch spacing and bolt up to the 914 trailing arm with no modification

The hardest parts was the bearings. I had to cut one off of the hub.

I probably will invest in the hub bearing tool to do it next time.

complete used 911 axel (69-73) from cv to stub axel.

NOTE I am using 911 axels from the trans out, 914/6 stubs would enable one to use 914 axels

You cannot use a 914 stub axle because the 911 CV wont bolt up to it(the 914 part is ~1 1/2 inches too small).

69-73 911 hubs bolt up to 69-73 911 stubs through the rear bearing.

After you mount the stub to the hub in the bearing, things are very self explanitory.

The hardest part was dealing with the crappy rear bearings

I tried the carrera type but they wouldnt too thick so I switched to SC, I really need some ducting to provide cooling to them though, my biggest worry is overheating and cracking the rotors on the track.

We have a great group no doubt about it.

I'm trying to figure out how to make it to Texas for Parade this year. It would be cool to meet you and Jason from PP up in Ft. Worth for the event. Charlie from the 914SIG is heading up this years Parade with his wife. It is a given that the event will be "914" biased since both of them are 914 nuts.
