This will help the guys already using the straight pull 911 stuff with the studs on the brake pads. On this setup as it is you are only using 1/2 of the original design and I think it will push the shoes crooked and they will bind on the backing plate but if it's adjusted close it probably will work. I think a better solution is the later 944 angle pull that is on other cars as well, boxter included. They both will require a welded on 40mm support. You are repositioning the 914 emer. brake cable anchor anyway on both. If you haven't done one yet check out the angle pull design first. I think you will see it's a better later design. Carrying it one step further I am moving the handle to the center and using the two piece 944 cable. A similiar extension is still needed if you stay with the 914 handle but it's really just a link type extension. I am also considering putting the cable mech. on top of the control arm.

Wes has done about as much as can be done with the straight pull design.

If you got the straight pull design it does have the only backing plate that is being used and the stud type shoes can still be used just convert to the angle pull spreader. You still gotta have the 40mm support though.
