Hello - looking for opinions --and info --- are all 70-76 rear rotors the same ???
are all trailing arms the same ??? - are all the rear calipers the same ?? - I have a 914 race car that has no brakes mounted - the body is a 76 --- front suspension is 71 and I bought new rotors for all 4 corners. I have 6 stock front calipers (new and old) + the 2 early ones on the car -- -- and 6 rear calipers (new and old all of them need rebuild) - -- I have heard people put front calipers in the rear , but should I put early or late front calipers in the rear --- I have both ---- dont care about the e-brake ..... thanks for ideas -- I need to buy pads ASAP ---- going to do Porterfields --- but dont know which ones to buy for the rear ------ |

Ditton on another teener running the same calipers on the rear as utilized on the front.
In the case of "222" used 914-6 calipers. These essentially fixed the front lock up when autoxing. Also using a T valve to allow equal proportion between the front and the rear. Credit due to Brad Roberts on this fix. FYI we put a bias valve in The Beast, but never had to adjust it one way or another. The Beast also runs the same calipers on the back as the front, i.e., Carrera callipers and works effectively. |
