If I got this...would I be on my way to a decent 5-lug conversion?

you will need early ball joints....

also...why would you want early NON vented rotors?

I just noticed that...nevermind.

Shipping these will cost more than they are worth. They are no better than drilled out 914-4 front rotors. Pass man.

When did Porsche start using vented rotors?

69', but this might be early 69' struts? The 912's followed the same upgrades the 911's did though. At least I thought they did.

Well, everything would work but, those hubs are (as discussed) for the early non vented rotors. They are slightly different when placed next to a later hub. The rotor mounting surface is located about 5mm in from the later ones. It would be difficult to upgrade to a vented assembly. I had a set of 66 hubs side by side with a later set.

Probably best to pass. You'd get the 5-lug you're looking for but no real advantage in brakes.

Got it...passing on these.

So if I get something from say...73 and up I'd be OK?

Maybe I ought to just get the damn thing on the road again first, and THEN worry about upgrades...

got my bid in

I want just the hubs....

Yes. 912s really were just 911s with 616 engines in place of 901 engines. The '65-'68 911/912 front ends are to be avoided, as they use special ball joints that are $300 a pair and can only be had from a few sources in the US. The '69 912 front end is the same as the '69-'72 911 front end. The '73-'89 911 front ends are the ones you'd want for a swap to a 914.

I like 69-73. I'd rather change out ball joints than weld on the thru body u-brackets or use the later model sway bar. I guess it would be 6's though... and probably easier (and cheaper) to weld on the u-brackets.

nevermind...

I'll buy the struts off yuh if'n yuh win...

(I know these are pinch-bolt struts. I have my own weird projects)

let's see what it goes up to....so far I have only bid $6

I have a complete early, early 912 suspension already sitting in my storage, but I'd rather sell it complete than take off the hubs....
