A local wrecking yard here has 944. On the World here I have read that the seat belts from the 944 are plug and play, for the most part, for 914 cars that came with retractable belts. Are there any suspension, brake, or other components from the 944 that are usable on the 914?

In real terms not much more than already stated,maybe front hubs for 5 bolt conversion,not even sure about that,think I'am right.
Was thinking that the brakes maybe handy for a conversion but offsets may be wrong,the 944 always stopped well otherwise they are scrap value basically. I have both early and late not too much crossing over really,more about the build on these cars early as they were a parts bin ,Audi 5000 transmission,mk1 golf steering column, some parts off an aircooled beetle rear suspension,you get the point ok (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Pick what you can ,you may get some 15" fuches or cookie cutters for a bargain. |

The hubs are just like 911 but 8mm less track width. Rotors are 911 20mm. Calipers are all wrong.
944 21mm spacers and 66mm studs with the -8mm hubs are not a bad fit for the 914 front. Basically moves the wheel out 1/2".
