will '73 914 brakes fit on a '74 1303??
 

A guy I contacted about some wheels just gave me a '73 914.
It has no engine or interior, but evrything else seems intact inluding the bumpers, glass, electrical, suspension and brakes.
My question is will those hubs/brakes fit my Super?
The other option is taking it to another guy who's got a ton of VW's and seeing if he'll trade the car for some new wheels and parts.

Any opinions/suggestions?

I dunno if I'de want 914 brakes. I'm pretty sure they use the same bearings, but it's not worth it IMO. They're small, unvented and kinda weak. Although, it's a free brake kit, I just don't think it'd be worth it if you had to pay for them....

Not gonna use 'em...
 

Well, I talked to a few guys today and it wouls be totaly worthless to even consider a swap-not to mention it isn't even a bolt-on/bolt-off kinda deal. In fact, it would be a serious pain in the *** and would serve no purpose.

I did, however; find another 914-same year with an engine, trans, and every thing else the free one was missing for $1500. The body was shot and it's pretyy ugly, but the free 914 is straight as an arrow and has no dents and has never been wrecked. So...Look slike I'll have two cars this summer. heheh
My girlfriend is thrilled.

NOT!
She thought I was insane to restore the bug. Now she's convinced.

The 914 suspension was based on the 911 so those brakes don't adapt to a Super very easily. However, the 944 suspension was based on the Super, so it is the 944 brakes that will fit a Super.

Welcome to the GL VW/914 world :D
