front disc/hub query

This is a stupid question, but as I gather all of the parts I need for a 944 turbo conversion, I realized that have no idea how the front disc attaches to the front hub. Is this convered in Lanners instructions, I suppose I wil find out when he sends everything back to me, but I'm worrying about it right now. Can anyone let me in on the secret?

What year parts? Lanner did my '87 hub's and supplied the hardware for the rotor, but they only use M5 flat heads to hold them on, wheel studs do the rest. (they attatch to hub in front, '86 and earlier are on the back)

The 86 hubs use 5-M8x22 Hex head screws with nuts to hold the rotor to the hub. Make sure you use a proper grade (10.9) metric bolts....we don't want those suckers shearing on a hard stop....

Yeah, that would make for an exciting trip to work; not necessarily the good kind of exciting though.

Do these rotors get sandwiched between the hub and the wheel?

86 rotors are bolted to the back (inboard side) of the hub. The87+ rotors are on the front, and get sandwiched between the hub and wheel.


Late (87+) 944 hub is first, 86T is second, 83-85NA is third
