Can I make 993 brakes work on a 911 suspended 914? If so would it be a bolt on or would i have to make custom brackets for the calipers to bolt up?

You cannot just bolt these up to a 914/911.
I have looked at this but never installed. As far as I have figured out these are the options (all are expensive): Front: 1) use custom rotors (w/ custom hats) on 911 hubs, and use caliper adapters (radial mount to side mount adapter) 2) use 930 hubs and 930 front rotors, and same adapters as option 1 Rear: Machine off the ears and drill for radial mount 1) use caliper adapter with 944 turbo rear rotor (you will not be able to do a parking brake conversion using 911 parts) 2) use custom caliper adapters and 930 rear rotors. The brake pads need to be sanded down to provide the clearance for the 930 rotor. I've seen several threads on the Pelican board where people have used 993 rear caliper with a 930 rotor on a 911. Most adapters and custom rotors/hats you can buy, like from VCI (vehiclecraft.com). I don't think there is an existing adapter for the second rear brake option. You'd have to make your own custom adapter. |
