Will 912 front hubs fit

[jrblackbox]

Will the 5 lug front hubs off a 912 fit onto the stock 914 spindle? I can get a pair for cheap so was thinking of converting to 5 lug. TIA

Nope, they're different enough that it isn't worthwhile.

You can bolt the complete strut assembly, with hubs and brakes, onto the 914 A-arms, or use the whole 912 front suspension. But the hubs won't swap by themselves.

figures, thanks

Unless the 912 is a 69 you do not want to use the front suspension. You are better off to get a 72 or later taper pint ball joint type strut. There is a good reason Porsche dropped the pinch bolt suspension.
Here is a good article on five lug conversions. 914World.com - The fastest growing online 914 community!

There is an adapter that converts your 914 to 5 lug. No modifications necessary. Costs $139.00

I am not a fan of those adapters. I frankly do not trust them. Plus they leave you with stock brakes, and aren't the 911 brakes half the reason to go to five-bolt hubs?
