I know Mueller was involved in doing this, and Mark as well, but are they still available?
Also were they ever machined for the rear? And curious how the rotor bolted (or was fitted) to the hubs. |

Mike Muller probably still has the drawings.
But the only thing saved by running this setup (AFAIK) is that you don't have to buy 911 parts and/or you have an investment in nice struts in your four lug housing. To answer the earlier question the 911 strut has a bigger spindle and therefore bigger bearings. The billet hubs are a replica of a stock 911 hub but designed to fit 914-4 bearings/spindle. If you have 911 struts already, this won't gain you anything I'm aware of. |
