Hi guys, just joined as I've just got a 914. Need a little help with parts compatibility and wondered if anyone could help?
Car is a 74 914 with a 3.2 Carrera engine, 901 trans, and it stops with 911 SC vented rotors and calipers all round. Thing is, it doesn't have an emergency brake. The car was built in California but here in the uk it cannot be road legal without one. Do I go 911 style drum in disc or 914 style ebrake on a calipers? Thanks in advance |

I currently have the Renegade "Big Red" caliper setup on my car. I don't know what the specs of the rear caliper are. I presently don't have a handbrake. I will want one when my car hits the street. Is my best bet at this point to go the 911 route (Tangerine)? Should I use the 914/6 GT calipers on the rear, would I lose the proper balance mentioned by Eric? Does anyone have any experience with the kit I'm using, is it properly balanced?

Go with the CFR kit and I have a set of 911 handbrake assemblies. |
