You probably should just redrill your hubs, half shafts? if you useing the stock tranni, then the stock ones I would think. I just finished my rear 5 lug conversion, if you want picture's just tell me.

The early ones from 67-69 I think are the ones that bolt up. Use the hubs, stub axles and axles plus CVs'. There was a thread on this waay back in January soo if you do a search on it you will find it for the exact part numbers and pics.
Stick with the 914 rear calipers and 914/6 discs if you need the parking brake. You can make a spacer for the caliper or find one from a M caliper that fits if I remember right to run rear vented discs. Or just mount up a 911 caliper without the parking brake for vented discs. Simplest and cheapest way is to drill the 914 rear hub for 5 bolt patten and run it with a 914/6 disc using the stock 914 hubs, stub axles, axles and CVs'. This works great unless you are running a monster V8 or 450 turbo 6. Geoff |

I'd pretty much echo what Geoff said, except that I believe that the hubs you would need come from the 69-71 911. You'll also need new wheel bearings.

I've got a rear 5-lug drilled 914 hubs and a rear brake setup using Carrera calipers and rotor available for sale (no e-brake).
