Is the 5 lug neccessary?
I recently converted my '73 914 to a 2.2T six. It's a nice setup, but by no means a monster. Last summer at a 914 gathering, someone suggested that I needed to convert to a 5 lug set up -- that the 4 lug would be too weak. So, do I really NEED to do the conversion? I know bigger breaks would be nice, but there are a number of options there.
If so, can early 911 front strut assemblies be bolted directly in w/o changing out the rest of the front end? I see talk of drilling and lugging a five lug pattern in the rear hub. Does that mean that you mount the lugs in the hubs and use nuts instead of the origional lug bolts?
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
