sorry no pics of the the rear parts. Will post them later.
Last part missing is the 19mm master cylinder.
Hope i will find one soon.
IMHO fuchs are the best 'upgrade' for a 914 -those will look superb.
Looks great....
I agree, Fuchs are the best upgrade for wheels....

Is it just me or is that an odd keyboard (in the backround of the calipers). It don't look like mine. Apparently in Germany they have a slightly different layout of the characters.
Good looking parts, and congratulations on your new nuts.

Wow, new nuts from your GF! Which calipers are those? What tires are going on the Fuchs? |

Michelko,
Do you have to have special approval from vehicle registration to do this conversion in Germany?
How do you plan to do the rear? Which parts are you going to use?

Hi Michael
Looks great
What kind of stub axles those are ?? Some conversion alxles ?? They don´t look original.
How much do you use MittelMotor ?? Do you have other good Porsche parts shops there ??
BTW, I haven´t forgot the AutoCAD file. I just should go through all my old back-up files. I will do that soon. Hope you have still time to wait couple of days.

Story goes on.
Did some updates on the five lug setup. Had the struts sandblasted and coated with por 15. Went aout realy nice.
The pics show the nice and shiny parts.

Hic koni inserts for the struts.
last day´s i got the rigt rear trailingarm (spare part) from the sandblaster. the one in the car is bend. so i have to change it.
Next week i will mount the bearings and the hubs.
Will keep you informed.

I am Jealous! I do have German and Russian keyboards though.
Are those 911 struts or 914's?
Ich liebe es, den ich wünsche, dass ich sie gehabt habe. Sehr Nett.
Vielen Dank!
So on the front setup that spacer gives you the right offset for the 911 Fuchs? Are the rotors stock 911 equipment. It just looks so different.
So the rotor bolts up behind the hub and the wheel lugs onto the hub directly or is the photo just showing the part. The hub looks like a spacer/adapter because there are other holes inside.
Hi,
this is all bone stock, no spacers or anything else.
And yes its a 911 setup. I will run 6*15 Fuchs on it.
I want some...need money though
Hi,
now i am mounting all the parts together.
Here is a trailing arm with bearing and the cover plate.
Unfortunately the batteries of the camera went south, so no more pics for now
Installed also the the 5 lug hub.
Will post pics of it later.

I had some nice pretty lug nuts like that yesterday. Then I decieded I wanted the ends to be open
Hi there,

If there are no more nuts ore screws that won´t come off.

Had the part sandblasted and painted them with por15.
New bearings, screws, etc.

I am realy happy with the look of the car now but that steel wheels wasn´t so bad.
