Rear brakes and e-brake... Options

[edhall]

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 decided to go with the stock solution and sold those. The way I did it would only work as a parking brake. Not good for an emergency brake solution. Again, that's exactly why the CFR solution is best for those who want big brakes beyond the 914-6 and S/A-Caliper solution.

The last customer 911 solution we did utilized the CRF system. Any future ones will as well.

I can't tell from the web site, but does the CFR system accomplish the attachment to the trailing arm? I am collecting parts but can't quite picture it - seems like something has to hold still for the brake shoes to work. And it ought to be attached to something solid. I know you have been over this before.

You will have to fashion a 40mm or so bracket welded to the arm , this is what anchors the shoes on the 911 arms , instead of at the top like 911 , do it at the bottom where most put it for the 914 arm . Good Luck .
