I've decided not convert. Already sold the 5 lug wheels, so the rest sould go too. Struts, hubs, rotors $300 plus shipping. Parts are in the Denver Colorado metro area. Not too bulky, but a little heavy. Some surface rust on one side of the rotors from sitting in my barn. Will send more pix if you are interested or have someone local look at them.
Reducing price to $275. Also 3" spacing. Had them sold twice but buyer wanted to use Boxster calipers which have 3 1/2" spacing. Dan |

so just to be clear, any of the 911 struts will work on any of the 914s... the ball joint to be used is the issue - correct ?
..and the stock ball joints used on 914s to mid '72 work with a "pinch bolt" type strut - and those earlier ball joints are more expensive than the later used taper pin ball joint. but one can be switched out for the other - depending which 911 struts you source. Do I have that summed up correctly? |

Do I have that summed up correctly? pinch bolt style struts take pinch bolt style ball joints, taper pin struts take taper pin ball joints. You can use your existing A arms for either version The cost of the early ball joints may be a bit higher but it's not much by the time you go 5 lug. front conversion: struts strut inserts hubs bearings hub seals calipers rotors hard lines soft lines hardware wheels some guys use one inch spacers on the front to fill out the wheel wells on flaired cars when using 7' wheels so include the spacers and longer studs. |
