I am finally getting around to doing this, i am wondering who else has done this and whether you have any words of wisdom, etc. One thing to know, I have newly re-done trailing arms, with the new hubs and bearings already installed, also new pivot shafts and bushings as well - this week i was able to order my newly reman. calipers from PMB, so "while i am at it" is the catch phrase to use here i think, i also had them send me new brake hoses and master cylinder(mine just went bad, so i have not been able to drive the car). So i have not seen anyone else that did this group buy post any thread or pictures on this process, so i figured i would do this when i get started, but would appreciate the advice! I have done brakes on many other vehicles but not my 914 here is what i already have done - -new shocks and springs- rear: sport bilistein's with 100#springs, new factory anti-roll bar bushings. thanks Eric and Bill H. for getting the group buy put together, and Eric for the ONE-STOP-SHOP and providing all the necessary components!!!!.

Hi Phil,
How's things? This is pretty straight forward as far as install goes. Go to Eric's website and look at his videos on the install. You may need to find some threaded rod and some large washers to install the hubs. Otherwise easy to do. Take care, |

Take care, Luke, going good, been finishing a bathroom remodel, so next week i should be on top of this, getting ready to order tires, the calipers from eric came saturday, and new MC came today. so i almost set. I had the rear hubs and bearings installed into newly finished rear trailing arms by Eric, also new bushings and pivot shaft so that should be pretty easy. I will take a look at the Video, and Eric just sent me a link to his thread on setting the venting/clearance. How's your six conversion going? did you put the new rims on yet? I have been doing a little self polishing on the outer rims, seem to be cleaning up nicely. I will post a pic once i paint the pedals!. Phil |
