I saw those when I was building my 3.2 conversion. Ending up with 951 calipers. I think I decided against them as they didnt have dust shields. Dont remember exactly

If you need any more info on them they are just down the road from me. I can go down and ask them. Was just down there last week for a Master cylinder for my go kart.

Several different people make really light calipers and I've looked at them very closely. They are pretty cheap too. Problem is the spacing of the mounting holes vs our mounting holes. They just don't fit with out fabbing an adapter with offsets or cutting the mounting ears off a strut and welding them back on to match the caliper.

Too much work-too little gain.

911 struts different spacing than 914?

Posted by: So.Cal.914 Jul 28 2008, 08:29 PM

914 = 3" spacing

911(later) = 3.5

They look a lot like my wilwoods.

ASndy,
We use Wilwoods on both the 914 race car and my street/track 914. Easy to change pads and not too much $ for the caliper.

Which wilwoods can you use? How much fab work is involved?
