I'm quite certain this is covered elsewhere, but I've been racking my fingers trying to figure out what to search, and coming up dry.

I've got the Tangerine Racing 911 e-brake kit, and the instructions are almost worthless.

Can someone tell me what I need to shave off of the 914 rear hub to get the 911 e-brake to fit? There's also a part I'm supposed to weld onto it, and I have no idea where that goes either. It also appears the holes don't quite line up.

Do I have the wrong stuff?

Pics below. I'm stuck.

I dusted some white paint on the bearing carrier area (see the 4 holes for the retainer plate) to use as a guide

I then ground the 4 corners down while checking fit with the backing plate as I went. Once the backing plate fit like a hat and seated fully on the bearing carrier you are pretty much done. If you are powder coating take a bit more off to account for the coating thickness.

Cut the ear off that would has the bolt hole for the dust shield.

I mounted the pads to the backing plate with just the adjuster and the shoe mid pins.

I located the angled 40mm bracket as far into the pads so they did not stick out past the pads. I had to grind off some material on the bracket to get it to sit low enough that when the pads are retracted ( relaxed position) it does not sit higher than the friction material. The swaged cable end passes through the hole in the bracket.

I suggest you use the assembled backing plate as a guide as you go to consistently check fitment. Its easy enough to see how the mechanics work that way.

Once you get everything where you feel is right weld the 40mm bracket. On mine the bracket sat even with the caliper mounting ears.

Toss the 914 bearing retainer plate into your parts bin. You wont be able to use that. You will need the ring (stiffener) from the 911 with the 4 holes.. you will need to open up the holes to fit the bolt pattern of the 914 arm. I would not leave that out as I am not comfortable with the 911 backing plate as the sole muscle to retain the bearing.
