I acquired a fairly large haul of 914 parts last night in preparation for my next 914 project car. Today I started sorting through the first truck load of it, and I could use some help identifying a few items.

I believe these are factory front sway bars, correct?

I think the top sway bar is a factory rear sway bar, but I'm not sure about the other two. Any suggestions?

Rear trailing arms with 914 hubs drilled for 5 lug bolts. Does anyone recognize what the brake calipers and vented rotors are from?

Looks like you have all front factory sway bars (16 mm) . 1 factory rear sway bar ( the one with the ball ends ) , the other 2 are weltmeister rear 914 sway bars.
The front struts you can look up the part #'s and it should say what they go to. The rear 914 parts look like a hybrid of 914 and 911 parts. brakes are 911 but hubs look to be 914 modified to 5 lug but using bolts?

The spindles on the front struts are so rusty, they are trash. They have bearing surfaces in them that are ruined by the corrosion. Other than the sway bars and maybe the front 911 hubs, the rest looks to be scrap.
