IMHO fuchs are the best 'upgrade' for a 914 -those will look superb.

don´t think vented in the rear is necesary with the incredibloe 80PS 1700 engine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) But in the near future i am planning a six conversion (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

Is it just me or is that an odd keyboard (in the backround of the calipers). It don't look like mine. Apparently in Germany they have a slightly different layout of the characters.
Good looking parts, and congratulations on your new nuts. |

the major difference should be changed z and y. you surely doesn´t have ö ü ä. Don´t know whats on theire place on english keyboards. But i like that keyboard. It´s a desktoop version with laptop keys. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

Michelko,
Do you have to have special approval from vehicle registration to do this conversion in Germany? How do you plan to do the rear? Which parts are you going to use? |

Normaly you have to registrate and proof the conversiion by the German "TÜV". They sign the conversion into the cars documents. But whats about this: The Car is now round about 35 Years old, no one nows how the car left the factory (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Tell all people it is originaly equiped with that nice Fuchs wheels. Is this a plan? For the rear setup i am using the special 914/6 stub axles(reproduction from Mittelmotor) with 911 hubs, brake disks and the original 914/4 calipers. Will post pics of the setup later. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) |
