I have all new calipers from Eric Shea to install on our '71 914, and need to install new rotors when it all goes together. I was thinking about installing hub-centric rotors.
Is this possible utilizing the existing early front struts? What about the rear? |

Again, I need more clarification, please.
Needed: * Late struts - Understood, and I have a few source options. I will need ones that accommodate Bilstein inserts (which I purchased from Kevin Foust a few years ago). * Late calipers - I can purchase a new pair from Eric and sell the new early [PMB restored] early ones * Late flexible brake hoses - I can buy new ones from Pelican, or ... Already have: * Zimmerman late rotors - including races, bearings & seals * Lemforder Turbo tie rod kit - including the washers and boots * Lemforder late ball joints * Porterfield late brake pads * One late PMB SS front hard line * Late A/control arms - I'll be picking up a nice powder-coated pair soon, including new bushings, new Lemforder ball joints and some other newly-plated parts (from Dan) Questionable items: * Late backing plates? - how do they differ from early? * Late hard brake lines? - how to they differ from early? ... anything else (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
