Yesterdays work included a final test fit for the wheels. I find that things are different then when I first test fitted the wheels, because the Brembo calipers are pretty big and necessitate a 3/8" spacer up front. However the rear wheels are a perfect fit, the brake hat adds about 1/4" spacer.

The wheels really are just about perfect with over 9" of rubber on the front and 10.2" on the rear at "full bottom" out nothing touches anywhere and there is plenty of clearence, even the front fit turning lock to lock bottom out great. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

To answer your question Michel the wheels are HRE311 and were custom made for early 911, and the flares are GT replicas from AA.

Eric I will have to look at the sizes Tom purchased, he really bought it to use on his Northstar V8 dune buggy, he has several different sizes and also used various sizes of shrink tube to end the sleeves on the 914.

That's what I was thinking... might be a couple sizes. And, ditto the shrink tubing... that looked like the clean route.

Thanks for going out of the way... YOUR PROJECT'S SCREAMIN!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I pm'd Marv yesterday asking the same question about sizes and lengths, also wanted to know about the front trunk cable release cover too. Eric, I may need to buy the same stuff that you're looking at too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Right front corner complete (xcept sway bar) brake rotor to hub, bearings packed & installed all bolted up tight n good. Not shown, I forgot to take pic is I had to remove the RSR struts & chop 1/2 inch of thread off the top, the struts were way too long & would of poked thru the hood! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Per Jim at PMS a common issue using 911 struts for 914's.

Marv, very nice, everything is looking great. One question. Is the fuel tank going in and over the fuel pump?? I would think you would want it out in the front trunk area where it would be easier to access if there were a problem with pump?
