I am about to purchase new rotors for my 72 914. The front spindles may not be original. I need to confirm if they are the new style or old style before ordering.
The base of the shock tube assy is threaded for a bolt. Does this confirm the early/late style? If so, which do I have? Randy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

Hey Randy...
I just (as in today) pulled the spindles off of my '72 and swapped them out with late spindles (I bought a set of BMW 320i brake calipers and rotors from a fellow teener recently that were already machined for the late spindles). The late model spindles use a double-tapered stud & bolt arrangement, where the early spindles are threaded for a hex bolt. I'm not a betting man, but I would say that yes, you have the early variety of spindles if they are threaded to accept a bolt. Also, the later cars have "hub centric" rotors (a ring around the hub that the rim sits on). As far as I know, these are not interchangable. Hope this helps! -greg- |
