QUOTE(6freak @ Jun 2 2009, 11:16 AM)  QUOTE(Racer Chris @ Jun 1 2009, 08:25 PM) The arms themselves are the same. Differences were in bolt-on components: the brake calipers - sixes have bigger pistons; the hubs/rotors - sixes have 5 lugs, not 4 bolts. BTW, the stiffening on my refurbished trailing arms is lightweight and comes at no extra charge along with the straightening, powdercoating, new bearings, new bushings, and new pivot shafts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hello Chris! so your saying that I can take the set off the four banger have them rebuilt and then just bolt it up to my 6 and everything else will bolt right on...I dont want the stiffening part just the powdercoat, bearings , bushings and shafts..and zerks ..I will give you a call soon thanks Mike Crandall The rear brake hose hole on the -6 and early -4 are smaller and use a 911 hose and mounting hardware. the 74 uses a vw hose and vw mounting hardware. Both are the same at the body. One of the -6 arms has a bracket on it to support one of the oil hoses. Get the -6's rebuilt and keep it original. |

Late 914 trailing arms have a slot in the brake line bracket to allow the brake system to be separated from the tailing arm without cracking open the lines. Early 914 arms (including 914/6) have a brake line bracket that is completely circular, so in order to remove the trailing arm, you have to crack open the brake system.
They are interchangeable and I'd bet money that even the most thorough concours will not pick up on that subtlety. |

Early 4 and 6 are the same:
-Round hole brake line as Mark mentions -Extra tab welded on to accomodate the -6 flapper box cable. Late 4 are slightly different: -Slot line holder as Mark mentions -No extra tab for -6 stuff Search is your friend. I've posted pictures of the differences in the past. I have a pair of each in stock and powdercoated, ready for fresh bearings. |
