If you remember, I send some pics about my trailing arms a couple of months ago. Then I had just moved the bearing housing 15 mm inwards. After those pics I have sandblasted them, done all modifications for 911 e-brakes and painted them. Hope you will like the pics.

Huh, your reply came fast..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
From the wheel side I will use old 911 stubs, 911 CVs, VW bus axles, 911 CVs and an adapter to mate them to transmission. Those adapters will be 10mm thick. I have not found right 911 axles and transmission flanges to use instead of VW bus axles and adapters. Why I did this.... Heh, simply cause I have 7x16 wheels with 23 ET and I want to use 205/55/16 tires. I am not going to cut the inner fenderwells or pull the fender lips out any more. I know 205 wide tires will fit, but they need right wheels (ET 35). I couldnt find such a wheels, so, I moved the bearings. I know many uses 7 inch wide wheels with 911 ET (23) and 205 tires, but without this modifications they wouldnt fit under my car. And in most cases, I dont like the look when the wheel and tire are "too" close to the fender lip. This is one reason why 7x16 Fuchs in Rich Johnssons car looks so good. |
