I know there were supposed to be hubs to bolt 911SC vented rotors onto 914 struts in development, but do they actually exist as a product? If so I want a pair. If not or they won't be out for some time I'm going to go for early 911 front calipers and a 19 mm master cylinder and call it a day.

Ahhhhh Seeee - Looks like time to investigte every 4 lug vehicle made with vented rotors and see if one comes close. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

This was a project by Brad Roberts that was supposed to allow one to bolt 911SC rotors to their 914-4 struts. Seems like a very nice way to get vented brakes without buying a whole front end and then having to convert the rear too.

Right now it's designed for early 911 front vented rotors, not too sure if they are the same as the SC rotors or not.
Last I heard, the machine shop is getting the material for the production run, I have to sign off on the prototype parts , waiting to get up to Novato to pick them up and test. |

Ok, that makes even more sense to run early 911 vented rotors. That way you can bolt the Carerra caliper up to the 914 strut, right?

So it would be early 911 calipers and vented rotors with a four lug pattern cool!!! about how much I am interested

Josh,
I think the carrera caliper is 3.5 inch wide at the mounting bolts... so you'd have to have an adapter to use it... but the early-vented 911 caliper (M) is 3inch wide at the mounting bolts... so thats the one that will bolt right up.. b |

I talked with B yesterday and he says things are progressing well. Look for something tangible in the next few weeks.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) '80-'83 BMW 320 front rotors use the same bearings as the 914. Don't know about the seals. Don't know if they're vented either. You'd need to know if the distance between bearings would be a fit. Of course the wheel bolt pattern is different anyway, so maybe there's no point. Andy |

Andy,
BMW 320i brakes use solid rotors just like our cars. That's how the BMW calipers fit over the rotors without popping out thier pistons. Now the BMW 323 had vented brakes, but those only made it to the US as gray market cars. I just want decent sized vented brakes for 4 lug wheels. The EJ20T Subie engine is going to propell my car much faster than the 1.8 and better brakes will be a necessity. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Joshua Skinner |

Joshua,
I just re-read my post......It was the hubs I was speaking of (though you probably figured that out). Ok, so if you find a one-piece vented rotor/hat with the correct offset and diameter, it shouldn'd be rocket science to re-drill for the correct 914 4 bolt pattern. Find a friendly brake outlet that you could rummage through their assortment of rotors.......would take some effort, but you might be rewarded with a fit. Andy |

No, these hubs will not look like either of those in the picture. The hubs in question are to bolt directly to an unmodified 914-4 strut which neither of the pictured hubs will and to mount a vented rotor. At one point I heard that a 911SC rotor was to be used hence the title of the thread. The hubs are supposed to be available in dual 4 on 130/100mm so you can run original 914 wheels or modern wheels. I believe they will also be available drilled for 5 on 130 and others.
Bottom line for me is that I want vented brakes and do not want to buy 4 new wheels, a 911 front end, 911 rear hubs, etc, etc. Joshua Skinner |

The check cleared with the machine shop and material was ordered 2 weeks ago. The actual person doing the machining/setup was in Jury duty all this past week. IF...IF he shows up Monday.. we are first on the list for the prototypes. He is a 914 guy (which is why I chose them..) they have been busy with jobs that pay more. My measely run of 100 hubs just barely qualify's for their machines.

Oh.. Josh.. you actually know more about them than I do...LOL
Just kidding. Yes. Everything you rattled off in the post above mine is true. Wait until you see the 4 piston 930 brake padded calipers that will fit under 15 inch wheels and bolt RIGHT up to your STOCK 3 inch bolt spacing. It will allow us to run 930 rotor/pads under our 15 inch 4 lug wheel (if you so choose)... YEE F_ING HAW !!! B |
