Early rear hubs from a 914/4 are better for redrilling for 5 stud as they have extra bosses on the rear, whereas later cars only had 4 bosses on the rear of the hub. Going for 914/6 stubs and 911 hubs also gives a stronger assembly without the need to redrill and stud. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/u...
