What is the best match for rear brake calipers if I am planning a 5-lug conversion with 1970 911T Struts and hubs? Leaning towards the 3" Brembo Aluminum calipers in front, the lightweight is a big plus in my opinion.
Hoping to use the 911 parking brake in the back, so no need for complicated rear calipers with internal parking brake. Besides a 3" M-Caliper (38mm?) what are the other options for the rear calipers? Something lightweight would be a bonus . . . If I where to run a dual master cylinder pedal with balance bar would it be possible to just use another set of the 48mm Brembo Aluminum calipers on the rear? |

Call and speak with Eric Shea at PMB Performance. You will never regret that call. http://www.pmbperformance.com/catalog.html I bought mine from Eric and they are a piece of art! In my opinion, why reinvent the wheel? He has every option to keep the parking brake and have good brakes for a fair price. I'm not sure using 911 parking brakes qualifies as reinventing the wheel . . . . It's a matter of personal preference I guess. Eric Shea has admitted himself that integral parking brakes can be a love/hate thing and that because of the parking brake many of the 914 rear calipers being used on the road today are NON-functional. I personally don't like the failure modes that the integral parking brake causes. Having a separate parking brake, in this case 911 drum-type, has more appeal to me. |
