Hello
i am working on my 1975 914 1.8 , i rebuilt the master cyl , rebuilt right rear caliper , and replaced left rear caliper , replace the grommets on master cyl for resov. lines , i have set the rear brake venting to .008 and bleed the system multiple time , i have no air coming thru system at all , i have brakes now but they just dont seem to be correct , if i stand on the brakes hard they do not lock up while driving, are the brakes on these just that way or dose anyone have any other suggestions on what could be a problem , ... i have no leaks anywhere either and the park brake seems to hold the car under a light load thanks craig |

I dunno if you read the earlier post about the venting clearance, because you didn't acknowledge it, but the venting clearance is .004", NOT .008". Maybe it's an answer you didn't want to hear. Even the factory shop manual is wrong. They told us that in 914 brake class at the Porsche Training Center, 35 years ago. One of those things that never got fixed in print. If you don't set it correctly, you'll never get the brakes to feel right. Furthermore, you need to put at least a couple of hundred miles on the car, using the brakes frequently, before they're gonna begin to feel right. Removing the proportioning valve in an otherwise stock brake system is stupid.
