I don't usually read this magazine but saw on the cover a mention of the 914 article so I bought it. Excellent explanation of the upgrades to BMW front calipers, etc.
This was actually one of the last articles in a series about their 914 project car. Has anyone read any of the articles, are they worth trying to find? Pete |

I wanna throw in my $.02 too...
1) the grass roots master brace looks ugly and heavy... We have used much more graceful pieces for the last 8-10 years... bolt or weld something onto the cross brace that points back and cradles the MC... then put a couple of hose clamps over the MC and this brace.... (to remove the mc, just loosen the hoseclamps..) 2) Man... STOCK brakes when rebuilt are more brake than is needed on 99% of the -4 race cars.... Add cooling air, race tires, and pads to a GOOD functioning stock caliper and you will have more brake than you need.... These are momentum cars... if your using your brakes enough to over heat them then you should not be using your brakes soo much... Sorry I just felt like yelling brant |
