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? |

Ipsco make a nice spot caliper for Pantera and Vipers that are small and light. Good design for clamping. Will go from .750 on up to 1.25 inch thick rotor.
The Brembo spot parking brakes used on Ferrari are really light but they are kind of bulky. They are fairly cheap to purchase though and cable operated. Attached image(s) ![]() |
