Clay Perrine's solution

Being discussed on the Bird board now. He's prepared to make up 50 sets of the brackets if he can find buyers. The caliper is an off-the-shelf Wilwood part.

My setup is designed to be 100% BOLT ON.. NO MACHINING OR WELDING REQUIRED if you are using calipers that use the original 3" bolt spacing. The pictures in the thread are about 4 years old. The brackets are 6061T6 1/2 thick aluminum, machined on a CNC mill. I set it up and tried to get some interest, but no one wanted it. It uses a Wilwood mechanical spot caliper. It will work with 24mm rotors by purchasing an extra spacer block for each caliper from Wilwood when you buy the caliper. What is not shown in the pictures is the rod that attaches to the caliper and links the park brake cable with the caliper.

I got a bunch of calls from a guy why tried to buy the CNC codes for making it. The next thing I know, Renegade has a similar caliper mount using a Wilwood billet spot caliper with their logo on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)


I still have the prototype set that is in the picture, and I even ran it on my wife's 914 to test it. It held better than the stock calipers. The only drawback is that the caliper has a tendency to rattle.

Turns out that I can't use it on my car, I am using 944 turbo calipers and 24mm carerra rotors, so I have to make a new mount for the caliper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)


Anyway, if someone wants a set of brackets, contact me. If I get enough interest, I can run a bunch of brackets off the mill. I am NOT supplying the calipers or any hardware. Just the brackets. You have to get the bolts and spacers for the mounts.
