It is my understanding that later model (914-4) cars used a "hub centric" style rotors. Is possible to put 73 and later front rotors on my 72?

anyone?

yes you can do it, but you may not be happy with the result.

Calipers won't fit correctly.
I have early rotors on my car and can not fit the calipers on.
The are machined for 5 lug with studs in them
Now I've got to send out the correct later rotors to get
machined and studs pressed into them so I can get the
calipers mounted.

There is a difference in the struts, so I been told. I just know from experience they won't fit or at least wouldn't interchange on mine. Now if you have a late '72, you might have the later struts.

so what you're saying is match the rotor to the strut. right?
that's what I'm saying...without saying it....well, damn I just said it

fyi

According to another member (Adidas), the cutoff from late to early models occured mid 72 at VIN 472 29 19032. Any VIN greater than that requires the late model (73+) rotors.

Yea Sean.......did you spread Santy

Anyway, I've always wondered if you could tell the early strut from the late strut by the way the ball joint mounts.......early has the boss for a bolt with threads on one side of the split and late has the hole for the double taper bolt - no threads. Oh well...another Roswell mystery!
