How about 911 parts? Doesn't look like VW at all.

The Porsche/VW 914 front suspension A-frame with torsion bars and cross member might work. The shock struts are different and the 914 has 4 lug brake rotors and smaller calipers. The 914 optional sway bar was attached to wheel well metal so is different than 912/911. Check out this listing here on SAMBA.

I have a complete 1970 914 front end that should it perfectly. It was removed from 1970 914 to install full 1980 911 in it.

What is there to gain by cobbling together a VW suspension for a 912? Why not source the correct factory parts? They are plentiful and some of the least expensive parts for the 912.
