Hi
This is my first "help" thread on the 914 world (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I have bought a 914-6 that was previously a very active 914-6 in the USA (called "Wild 6")
I need to get the car road legal here in Norway, and the most important thing I need to do is to add a parking brake/hand brake.
The car has (I think..) brakes from a 996 turbo.
What would be the best option?
Add two extra calipers? is it possible to add a more standard parking brake solution with brake pads inside the brake disc?
Anybody else out there who has done the job before me, or can point in the best direction?

All help is appreciated

Thanks

Alf K Larsen

Alf - worth posting some pics here to show what you have, and particularly to see if the trailing arms have been modified already?

I can recommend the Tangerine racing set up with the swaged ends. You can use standard cables, you need some spacers made up to set up the align the shoes correctly with the inner hub - and mostly welding.

What else do you need to get this thing on the road?
