The 5 lug 944 front hubs (bearings, washers and locking nut) and rotors are 911 strut compatible (NOTE - may differ over model years). These items may be of value to anyone doing a 5 lug conversion. I think they even have "911" part numbers...? I have these on my GT tribute car, courtesy pick'n'pull (though I did replace the bearings with new ones), - Tony @'Retroracer The hubs are not 911 parts. The offset is about 1/2 inch less than a 911 hub and requires a spacer and longer studs installed to prevent the tires from rubbing. That may vary with the wheel offset. |

Any GT (or flared 914 variant) will likely run with spacers / longer studs anyway. There are also various offsets / depths to 911 hubs I believe. The OP asked for parts worth salvaging for a 914 - I believe these parts may have value, - Tony |

I still have a bunch of the lock nuts as they are about $30 each new |

IIRC, the rear trailing arms, especially the alloy Turbo ones, can be used for Type 1 disc brake conversions. If it were me and I was already there, I'd harvest whatever I could. 944 924 values are rising. I'm pretty sure the rear glass hatches are NLA and / or $$$$$. If it has even a "decent" dash, it's worth grabbing. I saw an early 944 NOS dash that was close to $2000. ^^^ Good one! 1985.5 on up dashes are no longer available and worth $$$. Early dashes are being remade by Porsche Classic again, but are costly. If it has Sport Seats, grab them regardless of condition. |

Aux air regulator is the same as the 1.8 L-jet part… but who knows if it works

If the spare looks like this one I would be intetested. Hi there, there is a space saver like that. I'll see what they're asking for a spare wheel and let you know likely price. Its numbered 911 361 022 11. Im not sure what postage etc would be. Thanks but I think that's a standard steelie. |

Was too late getting back and the car has gone, but the space saver wheel is still there. It is steel construction but has a strange tire with two valves.
Not sure what the yard will ask for it, or how much shipping would be, but could buy it if anyone is interested! Thanks but I think that's a standard steelie. [/quote] Attached image(s) |
