5 lug conversion questions, Rear pieces Options

[914coop]

Starting my 5 lug conversion.

Have drilled 914/4 hubs and was wondering about the rotors. Can I us the 914-6 rotors with the existing calipers or do I need to drill 914/4 rotors?

Also I am looking at a early 70's 911 SC rear setup, Hubs, rotors and Calipers, also has the control arms and shocks but I am pretty sire I can not use them. Know I need the 911 or 914-6 stub axles, If I get the 911 stub axles are there any modifications needed? Also do the 911 rear calipers bolt up or will there need to ne modifications I know I loose the emergency brake what are the options there.

One front question.

What is the benefit to using a 911 front suspension over a 914 front with drilled front rotors?


Thanks for your help and advice.

Plus, it will still bolt to your drilled 914-4 hubs. The 914-6 rotor will not.

I probably need to expound upon this one.

The "rotor mounting holes" (2 M6 screws) are in different loactions. The -4 rotor will match the -4 hub. The -6 rear rotor will match the 911 hub, which is what 914-6 models used.

They will both (a modified -4 rotor or a modified -6 rotor) fit but, the -4 mounting holes will work with the -4 hub. The -6 rotor will not. You will need to hold the rotor tight with open ended lug nuts while you set your handbrake venting clearance. After that, the mounting holes don't matter.
