Just wondering if I have to make any modifications to the ends of the axles to get the 914s to fit my standard '71 beetle. Had a look on the weekend and forgot how much the hub-caps dome to cover the ends of the axles.

anyone?
Is it a common problem fitting non-standard rims?

The stock discs require a bit of machining to the lip where the bearing cap goes to fit porsche 5 stud alloys like phone dials.
Alloy rims have a deeper section than pressed steel wheels, there shouldnt be any problem clearing the actual axle.

Ah ok. These are 4 stud so I shouldn't have any problems at all then?

No problems, I have them on an IRS pan with the caps on and they fit perfectly. Did you get the longer bolts with them ? The standard VW ones are too short.

How hard is it to find the bolts? - just in case I don't get them with the rims
(they're still in another bloody state:cry)
