On the rear of my 914, I have 4 lug hubs drilled to 5 lugs. I have sebro rear disks.
I was going to install them however when the hubs were drilled, now the M6 disk retaining screws do not line up. Are these necessary? Should I just drill and tap the holes for the retaining screws? |

I think, you have to drill and tap a new hole. Which reminds me, I didn't. So apparently you can get away without doing it. The lug nuts hold everything???

Been running mine without the screws for about 5000 miles of DE's on track over 3 years with zero issues. The lug nuts do the actual clamping of the rotor to the hub. I could possibly see that the little screws might help with centering, but sure haven't noticed any problems. Always, always, always properly torque your lugs....96ft.lb. |
