Here is my process for raising spindles on standard 914 boge strut bodies. As documented elsewhere this modification allows you to lower the car but maintain correct camber curve and suspension travel. Raising by 19 mm allows use of 15”, 16”, or 17” wheels. I have converted to 5 lug using 911 front strut bodies, so my learning curve was to first modify these 914 struts. First photo is comparison of stock unmodified left side 914 strut body versus modified right side (my first one).

Everything old is new again.
Hot Rodders heated and bent the steering arms on old Ford spindles. It was necessary when they installed 'dropped' axles to lower their cars. Best done with some sort of jig to ensure uniform shape on both struts. |
