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? |

See if this helps:
Late Struts (install your Bilstein inserts) Late Backing Plates (different from early VW Type 3) Late brake hard lines (early can be used just different configuration) Late brake flex hose Late Calipers |

This is what you will need to do for a late front end set up. And if you don't already have one...put a stock sway bar in with adjustable drop link while you are there. |
