Powder coating in the dust shield holes? No brake pads installed? No unicorn decal on the strut? Grasping at straws here.

The struts were welded back together backwards? Upside down? Inside out? Come on, I'm dying here. What's wrong with them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Not sure if it is "wrong", but usually I have seen the brake disk bolts are the other way round. The head of bolts outside and the nuts inside.

Right or wrong, looks very nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Wedge bolt struts with a regular bolt and vinyl cap holding the ball joint in place for the photo?

Nope, I see an earlier photo where these are the pinch bolt type.

That would be wrong. Check the factory manual.

I'm not sure what is wrong in the picture but, I figured I'd post it here first before I put it on the car. If anyone can find something wrong with what you're doing it would be this crew! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've decided to use our "PerformancePoly™" brand of bushings on this project. These are the hardest durometer poly bushings available and can withstand over 10,000 PSI.

I can think of nothing more brutal than Utah's back country for a full on acid test. This should silence a few. Poly bushings get a bad rap because most units sold are the softer durometer versions and, yes, those do compress and fail, and squeak over time.

These have been honed on our lathe with an adjustable reamer set to the perfect size of our freshly plated shafts. Here we're taking the face down so the knurled end of the shaft protrudes beyond the bushing just enough to grab the inner ear and outer mount.

Attached Image

Here's a test fit on the shaft and, you can see the knurled section "just" protruding from the bushing. This is the look we'll be after once they're mounted.

Attached Image

This bushing is being test fit into the arm. Notice the grease ring cut inside. We'll measure this and mark the arm off for a grease zerk here.

Attached Image

Here, both bushings are test fit onto the shaft. It's a perfect fit. No slop, in fact, it's a bit tight because, once the grease is added, the nuts are torqued to spec. (over 100lbs.) and a 1900lb car is riding on top of them, they will spin easily and be totally noise free.

Attached Image

What's a 914 without a little "Wonder Glue"? Better known as JB Weld...

These bushings were twisted in and stayed over the weekend allowing the epoxy to set-up properly.

Attached Image

Using the drill press, a perfect 5mm hole is punched through right in the middle of the grease groove we cut in earlier.

Attached Image

A 6x1 tap finishes things off nicely here...

Attached Image

Here you can see how it lands in the grease journal.

Attached Image

..and, the zerk.

Attached Image

And here's the end result. Notice the knurled end of the shaft standing just proud of the bushing face. Too much and the arm would slap around with lateral movement. Too little and the bushing would bind on the body after the shaft was torqued to spec. I like how the beehive bleeder caps snap over the zerks!

Attached Image

Longer studs were pressed in the rear hubs to allow for the 930 spacers.

Attached Image

The hubs were pulled into the arms and topped off with new 914-6 rotors which match up with the mounting holes on the 911 hubs.

This project should never require a vented rotor in the rear so... why bother. Special calipers are on the way. Stay tuned.

Attached Image

The Stub Axle and castellated nut are in place and ready to go on.

Eric,

You are starting to remind me of a great guy who works at Paul Russel Restorations here in Mass, it's a super high end restoration shop.

I went over his house and in the garage was a ready to assemble 32 ford.
Everything was restored, powder coated, just gorgeous, and a fun looking kit to build.
This was a real car, lovingly taken apart and restored in his spare time...not at work.

When I asked him WTf, when are you gonna build it?
He stated that he was scared he would scratch all his nice new parts, so he could not get started.

Nice work, now bolt it on and show us the new stance already...
