I have been working on getting my new baby home for months and when she finally arrived I can't drive her. Seems Texas is a stickler on the safety inspections.

She has 911 Rotors on the rear with no parking brake.
Seems you have to have one of those.

Anybody out there have
914/6 Rear Brake Rotors
914 Calipers
Hand Brake Cables
so I can swap out the 911 Rotors and calipers or know of a way to rig up a parking brake for 911 rotors?

Also looking for Turbo Valve covers for 2.4.

The car is at Wes Hildreth's shop in Plano and he suggested I contact Clay.
Clay you out there?

Oh yeah before I get the - This Thread is Useless with out pics....
Here is one took before dropping the car off at the shop.

Thanks for the kudos.
I definately have a permagrin.
Can't wait to get her street legal so I can enjoy driving her around.

Here are specs that I know of so far.

Rust Free Tub from what I can tell – Original color L20
Steel Flares
Fresh 2.4 ltr six - PO is going to send me the details on rebuild
Rebuild was done by Albert Broadfoot in Jacksonville Fla. - Broadfoot Racing. com
Weber 40 IDT carbs with fresh rebuild
Electromotive Ignition
Quick Release Steering Wheel
Velios oil tank
911 Carrera Front Suspension (Bilstien Shocks, 180lb rear springs)
914-6 stub axles on rear
Boxed trailing arms along with what looks like additional stiffing supports welded in the trunk
Wilwood 4 piston caliper brakes on front
911 turbo rear brakes - causing me headaches because of no parking brake...
Turbo Tie Rods
19mm master cylinder
Roll Cage
Recent Paint - a found a bublbe or two but mostly looks good...
I love the color! Good for Fall lol (my pumpkin)
New Lenses - although I am having problems with the turn signals
8x15 front Fuchs
9x16 rear Fuchs
Top is in ok condition, there is a worn spot near the drivers side. My last 914 I had smoothed and painted the top but with the orange on this I like the orignal look. Anyone know how to reproduce the texture?

Since it has quick release steering wheel I am also needing to rig up a horn.

Thanks for the help guys on the parking brake I have sent a few PMs to Clay and Eric.

I also checked out JOHNMAN's blog. Very nice. I wonder how hard that is to implement.

dekman - I am curious about a Renegrade parking brake. If you can send a pic that would be great. I wonder if it is street legal in Texas. I had someone suggest a line lock but found out that is not legal.

You might consider getting antique plates -
Gets you out of the state required inspection -
But, you maybe limited on the # of miles you are told you can drive it...

And welcome to the neighborhood -
