Finally I have the parts for a kit to widen the 914/4 rear caliper for use with 911 vented rear brake rotors.
The kit includes the hub spacers, the caliper spacers and the longer pins. The kit does not include, at this time, the longer bolts or the extra seals. I use donor calipers from the 911 rear to provide these bolts and seals. The bolts in the 914/4 caliper may need a Ribe bit tool to remove. Reuse the longer (inner) bolts from the caliper to be modified as the shorter (outer) bolts. These are the parts included in the kit: Attached image(s) |

I tried many bit types before finding the correct type. Torx may be close, but it does not work well. Considering the cost of replacement bolts, purchasing the correct tool is very inexpensive. Ever try to find 7mm hardware? I was quoted $14 each with a minimum of 50 pieces; uh, not at this time thanks.
Definitely use at your own risk, and don't say we didn't warn you. |
