Where do I begin? So much talk about brakes and I am nocloser to a solution. I went with the 2002tii brakes from 1972 on limited information and got burned. The posting says they are a bolt-on to the early 914's so I tried them. No good. The bolt spacing on them is almost a 1/2 inch different. Did I get the wrong year? And does someone have the dimentions from the BMW 320i rotors so I can order a custom vented hat/rotor for my 1972 914 2.0? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

a 5 lug suspension does not get you coil-over springs... the 914 and 911 front suspension (up to '89) is very similar in basic design, the major diffs are number of splines on torsion bars and the 5 lugs have larger wheel bearings the billet hubs allow you to bolt on stock 911 rotors and stock 911 calipers, no machining....however since you have '72 struts, they will not fit, I don't have a set of early struts to figure out what would be needed to adapt the billet hubs to those struts. The only way to put on bigger vented rotors and keep 4 lug is somthing custom, either billet hubs or with Wilwood Racing components...even with the Wilwood stuff, nothing will bolt on, it's all custom, you'll have to machine off the rotor from the front hubs and order the correct hat and rotor...it can be done, just not that easy unless you have the tools to do it... |
