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? |

Stumbled across these images as well:

In this case it was for Corvette brakes: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.vettemod.com-9101-1386875994.1.jpg) |

DON'T DO IT! I tried it, and Wes Hildreth tried it on a car owned by Mike Floyd here in the DFW area. We learned that if you set the park break with the rotor hot, you need a big assed hammer to get them to release. There was no spring we could find that was strong enough to pull the pads loose. Wilwood used to sell that setup for their Ford 9 inch and Chevy 12 bolt disk brake kits. They have all been replaced with an internal drum brake like the 911 park brake. I called them and asked, and they had the same problem we did. |
