I just got off the phone with a guy here in Australia who is preparing a run of alloy calipers for the 914. Apparrently these are a direct replacement, including handbrake.

And for the xenophobes among you, yes they will be available right there in the USA.
So will these rims. (I just ordered a set of the rims today). It seems that the Formula Vee crowd here like 914 parts.

All this is still a few months away. (Except for my rims... they'll be here by Tuesday!)

will the calipers have any added features such as larger pistons?

will they split open to allow for running on vented rotors as the stock units can be done?

do you know if the rims are VW offset or 914 offset?

$150 per wheel is not bad. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

They also have blank 914 rotors front and rear.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I'm showing them at $188.00 a piece.

Is that price in Aussie dollars?

There's a selector box on the right that sets the currency shown, Oz or US dollars.

The prices also include "GST", which is the value-added tax. It's normal in Commonwealth countries to include the tax in the price, but you shouldn't have to pay it in the US. Shipping, however, would be pretty steep. Perhaps a group buy is in order.

The calipers they show for Beetles are made by ATE, use 40mm pistons, and are only US$83 each . If the 914 calipers are even close to that in price, I'd buy a set in a second.

there will be 100 sets of stock steel calipers in the classifieds if this is anywhere near the truth (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I'm surprised Paul (ury914) has not tried to pre-purchase the 1st set of aluminum calipers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Please, if you can get the details out of this guy, let us know more about these 914 calipers. Piston sizes (front and rear), if the 914 handbrake setup works as-is, and weight. 40mm pistons with a 19mm MC would be close to ideal, and if the rears are also big (38mm would be nearly perfect), then an adjustable prop valve would actually be useful.

I really hope Stromberg, AKA Type 4 parts, AKA (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) isn't the cali distributor.

If he is I and many here won't even look at them.

He's a total dirtbag...maybe you should let this guy know about (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) .
