I recently got my 914. Feels like it was a barn find, so it came with disconnected fuel lines and no brakes mounted. All the parts where in the frunk and trunk.
I tried fitting the front brakes but i didn't get it working, because the brakes doesn't fit. The seller told me they were 914 brakes and should fit perfectly but the more i research the more i think they are the BMW E21 320i brakes. I hope you guys can help me identifying what brake calipers I have. If they are the E21 ones i'll add the dimensions and what has to be done to it to make them fit to your 914 Thanks for your help guys! here the Pictures: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/preview.ibb.co-22212-1528733853.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/preview.ibb.co-22212-1528733854.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/preview.ibb.co-22212-1528733855.3.jpg) |

Look for member Eric Shea and PM him to ask him what modifications are required.
True the stock units are not cheap but they are hard to beat. |
