Damn! So that is what happened to Andy's old camera... You get it cheap Joe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I deserve that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Thanks Rob. It's actually my wife's camera and it's a decent one (Canon). The problem is that I have no clue how to work the damn thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

Ball joints are the same , but it's one of those I'm in here , might as well replace things , it all depends on the condition of what you have - is the rubber boot tore any ? are they loose in any way ?? Remember that if you are going to use the balljoints from the 914 a arms that they will have more weight and stresses put on them from the 911 parts not to mention the wheel tire combo you will eventually use- ball joints= money well spent and new pins are reasonable too. You are close to pelican parts so shipping would be reasonable too , I live close to AA and dc auto , so my ship charges are in line with the region I live in - shipping is part of the cost of parts also , there are no walkin Porshe parts places close , where I live .Just keep digging and trying to make some well informed purchases , like others here , I have bought parts that I will not use . In the course of gathering , my ideas and updates have changed , yours may also. You getting the front together , what about the rear ?? What type of brake setup , hub setup ?? Cv joint axle setup??Do you have a narrow body or flares ?? Keep up the hunt !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Jaxdream OOpps !! My bad I didn't look at the bottom of the strut in the pic . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Jaxdream |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Look for a setting on the body that says AF/MF. I think you have it set for manual focus and in that low light you will have a hard time setting it. Nice project though. What wheels are you going to use Joe? |

mmmm... sexy old school. Nice. Whenever I see them on a 914 I have to check and make sure it isn't a real six. |

So I blasted, primed and painted my struts. Here's the blurry evidence:
I think all that I need are: Inner bearings Outer bearings Rotors pads ball joints & pins 2 x caliper bolts (caliper to strut) and to figure out how the hard lines need to connect to the calipers and my fronts are done!! (I think) |

Here's the diagrams: This is the strut diagram. The red marks show what I'm pretty sure I have: Here is the brake diagram. The blue shows what I need: I have 10 of the m8 nut/bolt/washer combo but not sure what those are for. The diagrams at DC auto say I need them, but it doesn't say for what?!?!? They bolt the rotor to the hub check fitment if you have rotor and hub. Jaxdream |

Funny how seeing everything in place clarifies things. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
