Hi guys, I've been reading some of tyhe posts concerning using the 74 + hub centric eared 911 rear hubs for a 5 lug conversion. Iv'e seen mentioned that one needs to use a 5mm spacer on the hub on the wheel side against the outter inner bearing race . My question is why the 5mm spacer instead of a 6mm spacer ?? 914 and earlier 911 use a 36mm wide bearing the later mentioned 911 used a 42mm wide bearing , what happens with the leftover 1 mm?? Does it stick out to be sqished up against the stub , will it not allow the hub / stub to fully seat ??As i have figured on using the inner races from the aforementioned 74+ hub bearing having them ground down on a surface grinder for squareness sake , just want to be sure of the thickness demention before the grinding to get the right thickness I need.

Hi Paul --

I need a set, too. I'm just down the hill from you (I'm in Davis), so I could come pick up my set. Of course, that would permit me to drool over your car again!!!

Sorry Geoff, We'll have to put tape over your mouth if you are gonna drool on my paint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

I have 8 sets of spacers made. $25.00 + $5.00 for a padded envelope, postage and Paypal fees for USA deliveries. Just Paypal me and I'll ship them out. You can Paypal me at paul@sayegh.org and please tell me your 914World name so I can keep track. Those that showed interest above will get priority.

When you install them make sure the chamfered side goes against the radius on the hubs and the flat side against the bearing. Pretty obvious but don't want any disasters.

Paul,

Payment sent via paypal for one set just a few minutes ago. Just let me know if I am too late for one of the four left.

FYI.. My screen name and my real name are one in the same. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Paul , it seems that I have stirred up some buisness for you . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) I got a set from one of the mtrsports compys not gonna slam them , heck anybody can turn out a off spec product every now and then, just rather disappointed -5.87 mm on one side 5.07 mm on the other - will not use , just gonna put em up , restoking fee 25% not worth return and hassle. Keep em coming !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Richard and James, your spacers were shipped today. My response will be better when ski season is over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Erik, you had wanted 3 sets and Mel wanted one. No payment from either so the last 2 sets available to anyone who needs\wants them.
