Doug, you need the hub shaft spacer that Luke suggests. Late model hubs are made for the later 911 bearings which are the same ID size but "thicker" than the early bearings used on 914's and early 911's.
Travis, the spacer doesn't push this hub out any further. The extra 5mm for the later hub came off the backside of the hub. This effectively makes the shaft longer to fit the new bearing, which is what Glenn machined off (the "end" of the shaft). By doing it this way, Glenn has moved the hub face "inward" giving you more tire clearance. If you put the spacer on the hub-centric hub it makes it identical to the early hub. Again, by machining the end off, Glenn will be moving the face inward and the hub shaft will now fit the early bearing. I'd be willing to bet 944 rotors are the ticket here. |
