Brake rotors

I have VW sandrail with disc brake conversion on rear. Recently broke a rotor and have heard the Porsche 914 rear rotor is perfect replacement. Is this a 4 lug rotor? Mine measures 11" in diameter and 2 7/8" from rotor face to face of hub.

The 914 4 cylinder cars were 4 lug. Only the 914-6 was 5 lug.

does any body have pics along with measurements on these. I don't want to order one and then have to send it back if it isn't what I am needing.

The year range you want is likely a 73 to 76 914. I don't know if there is a difference in the 1.8 or the 2.0 engine model brakes. I doubt it.

There are a few 69 914s but they are scarce. Look on this web site. They sell parts at a good price. It is unlikely Autozone has them in stock.

Call Pelican Parts at 888-280-7799

Best bet, call them and talk to a parts pro.
