Hey guys, I need 2 rear cores and 2 front cores to rebuild for my 914.

Since the 914 is my daily driver, I need cores to rebuild so I dont have to do all four brakes in one night.

Any help would be appreciated....

Posted by: Matt Romanowski Feb 22 2007, 12:05 PM

What year fronts do you need?

Posted by: bd1308 Feb 22 2007, 12:54 PM

I have a 74, but i believe the range that I could use is 73-76?

Posted by: terrymason Feb 22 2007, 01:34 PM

bought my new fronts from AutoZone for $33 each. Turned out to be real ATE brakes.

http://autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=C001&UserAction=performMoreDetail&Parameters=TRUE%7C%7EBrake+Caliper+-+Front%7C%7E%2417.00%7C%7EFENCO_REMAN%7C%7EDriver+side+++++++++%7C%7EFALSE%7C%7EFALSE%7C%7E692464%7C%7E2008%7C%7EC9401%7C%7ENONE%7C%7E%2433.99%7C%7EPorsche%7C%7E914%7C%7E1974%7C%7ELLT%7C%7E10.0%7C%7ENONE%7C%7EV

You may not feel comfortable with autozone, but if they are real ATE calipers, and you are rebuilding them anyway, it's not a bad deal. They are already cleaned up and look new.

intresting, I'll do that.

What abotu the rear brakes?

Posted by: r_towle Feb 22 2007, 04:05 PM

Or you could buy a rebuild kit and learn some new curse words

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 22 2007, 04:45 PM

Or you could learn some new drawing techniques...



Should I attempt to help again? Last time you had me going through the entire process only to... well... uhhhhhhmm, I think I'll be quiet now.

Posted by: 911quest Feb 22 2007, 05:18 PM

There is a guy locally that has about five 914 parts cars PM me and Ill give you his phone number

Posted by: bd1308 Feb 22 2007, 09:13 PM

Eric,


Quite?

Posted by: bd1308 Feb 22 2007, 09:32 PM

The fronts will be A-OK, the rears i'll defnately need help on.

If I could afford to get the brakes built by a pro and then have them plated in deliciousness, then I would definately do that.

Posted by: ws91420 Feb 22 2007, 09:34 PM

Advance Auto parts has the rears available http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductList.aspx?parttype=5003&ptset=A&searchfor=Caliper

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 23 2007, 09:51 AM

Britt,

What's your address...? What year are the cores you'll be sending back?

Posted by: bd1308 Feb 23 2007, 11:49 AM

I can PM you my address, the rears are from a 74.

Posted by: SLITS Feb 23 2007, 11:53 AM

Hmmmmm ..... didn't know a 2002 Corvette caliper would work on a 914. You guys are good at finding new applications.


Cardone (A1 / Cardone) does do 914 rears. They make them all double bleeders (yeh, they drill out the single bleeders).

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 23 2007, 02:38 PM

Then comense ta Pm'n (that's KY talk for send me a PM)

************************************************************

We're gonna have fun tomorrow. I have a huge batch at the platers so I'm dead in the water until those are back.

I'm going to rebuild a set of calipers and you all are going to guess how long it takes me from start to finish (that's total disassembly to total reassembly).

Who ever is closest to the exact time wins a $100.00 Gift Certificate from PMB Performance. Britt has to pay me whatever he can afford (a price which will not be disclosed)... thems the rules and I'll live by them.

This will not be a fully plated and polished set, this will be a "Get'er Done" set that will have all new goodies, meaning; polished pistons, bores honed, new seals throughout, They'll work like brand spank'n new. Better than the crap you get from the mass-market rebuilders.

Enter your times in; Hours, Minutes, Seconds. E.G.: 00:00:00

The closest gets a gift certificate worth $100 clams.

Deal?

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 23 2007, 07:00 PM

OK, it's on. Britt and I hashed it out backstage. Now all we need are contestants. Sign up. I'm going to do fronts and rears. How long will it take, start to finish?

Posted by: SLITS Feb 23 2007, 07:05 PM

Is it actual build time or do we include the Nooner?

4 hrs 22 min 32 sec (without the Nooner)

4 hrs 22 min 42 sec (with the Nooner)

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 23 2007, 07:11 PM

Let me get out my calculator before I reply...

Posted by: Aaron Cox Feb 23 2007, 07:30 PM

fronts are cake... call it 30 minutes each for a pro like you.
rears... call it an hour and a quarter each.

2 x 30 min = 60 min
2 x 75 min = 150 min.

210 minutes....

Posted by: 911quest Feb 23 2007, 08:26 PM

I would say 1hr for all four 15 mins each.

Posted by: bd1308 Feb 23 2007, 08:28 PM

Took me 6 hours to do two rears...they were F'd though.

They work

Posted by: 911quest Feb 23 2007, 09:13 PM

You should come over some time you can check out the 914/6 I just picked up

Posted by: John Feb 23 2007, 09:26 PM

If you are doing the whole set of 4.

4x General clean-up.
4x Split calipers
8x Remove pistons
8x Polish pistons
8x Hone bores
2x Dis-assemble and clean rear calipers
2x Reassemble rears
8x Install new seals
2x Reassemble fronts


my guess is:

I expect Eric would be very thorough (and thouroghly Gumbied).

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 24 2007, 03:39 PM

The subjects have been chosen.

Behind door #1 we have a pair of late model 914-4 ATE dual 43mm piston front calipers. Slightly used but still have fresh fluid in them so I'm hoping that popping out the pistons will be a breeze.


Behind door #2 we have a pair of late model 914-4 ATE dual 33mm piston rear calipers with the integrated hand brake. They look to be in average shape so again, we're hoping no delays upon disassembly.


Scalpel please nurse... Everything I could think of has been assembled for the party.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 24 2007, 06:08 PM

Keep adding your times... the contest will be open until Sunday February 25th 8:00 PM EST - 5:00PM PST

darn I want to change my guess now that you said 'late night'

EDIT: Oops! That was a 'late night' bump... not a 'late night' caliper rebuild! Now I get it. Ok, my bet still stands firm.

I would like to publicly thank Eric for the brake calipers he is building for me.

Eric, I sent that PM to you!

Thank you everybody for thier kindness!

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 26 2007, 07:42 AM

uhhhhhh... OK

No worries Britt. We'll try to ship them today.

Posted by: johnlush Feb 26 2007, 08:28 AM

They are boxed up in in the back of the car - honest! Just trying to decide who to give the privilege of losing or destroying them - UPS or the Postal Service.

And again, congrats for offering your services to help out a 914'er in need.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 26 2007, 09:36 AM

USPS Flat Rate Box. $8.10 and reliable. You can insure each box to $500. PM me before you send.
