I have some '97 911 Carrera Brembo calipers that need rebuilding, but otherwise use-able. How do I make them work with the 5 lug 914? I have looked in FAQ's, Google, Bing, etc. Pelican justs sends back to 911's technical BBS.

Can someone help me out? Is there an adapter? Or do I have to buy 914 calipers and space them. What is the best route?

Thanks everyone,

korijo

An easy (relatively) brake upgrade is to use the 993 rears on the front of a 914 - I think you need the 911 spindles though (3.5" spacing on the caliper mount). You have to wallow out the bolt holes on the caliper a tad, but that's it. You can use the standard rotors and 16" wheels. That's what we have on both Papa Smurf and Huey - excellent braking. Standard late 80's 911 Carrera rears on the rear.

and yes, 23mm master cylinder.

The 993 fronts require and adapter kit that I think then requires 17" wheels...
