Just wanted to show off our newest build... 944 single piston, floating steel calipers:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net-1110-1348019689.1.jpg) This is our first couple of sets. We finished these for Henry at Intermeccanica. Really happy with the way they turned out. I must say, I like the ATE's much better than the Girling version found on various VW Buses etc. You can see the build process here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...mp;l=88d2516f44 |

Wow, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) if you only knew how many of those I have tossed in the scrap pile. Who the hell wants those turds ?

Didn't I read somewhere that these were adaptable for the 914?

I have the 944 turbos on my teener. Requires some machining to work.

I thought you could buy an adapter rail for the Turbos?

Eric,
In the near future I may be in the market for a pair of those for the front of my bug project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

How about 928s4 calipers Eric, do you rebuild those?

QUOTE Who the hell wants those turds ? Probably guys that want to restore or keep their 944 original. Oddly enough, at 7lbs. 10oz., they're about 2lbs. lighter than those A-Calipers (SC/Carrera) that everyone likes to put on their cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Agreed... thank God not too many cars were equipped with these awful single piston floater design calipers. Too many related deaths I'm sure. They probably flex too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

QUOTE How about 928s4 calipers Eric, do you rebuild those? We have a full set here we're experimenting with. The problem with the later Brembo's is... Brembo. They have made the kits unbearable. Each bore seal is $25.00. Each dust boot/wiper seal is $32.00. Now x8 ($456) or x16 ($962) and you've just covered the "rubber" bits for your restoration. To refinish them properly requires fully stripping them, de-anodizing them, re-anodizing them in black, assembling them, clear coating in high temp clear and then re-machining the PORSCHE logo. There's another $400 per pair to get them like factory new. Who's ready to pony up $849.00 per pair for these dime-a-dozen calipers? This is why I currently call them "throw-a-way" calipers. The spring plates in the pad cavity are also a problem. Almost all of the fasteners need to be machined out. Small fastener in steel into an aluminum body. Again, we're experimenting with some low cost finish alternatives. It's admittedly a back burner project. |

I have M calipers for the front. Would these be something worth considering for the rear? I have't yet decided if I will keep my car narrow or install flares (but I am leaning toward flares). |

" floating steel calipers"? How do you get them to float?
