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) |

Did anyone ever determine what your calipers were? I have what looks like the same calipers on my car. I bought all the late suspension parts except calipers and now the calipers won't fit. Okteenerfest is fast approaching and I don't have what I need. Yikes!

@BENBRO02
The ones pictured from the original poster are stock 914 calipers. Do you have no calipers or just bad ones ? I have early or late front cores if that is any use to you. Some might be usable. I would see if PMB can send out a restored pair to get you going. Bruce |

Bruce My car had what I thought was an early suspension and late calipers. It had washers added between the early spindles and calipers, and spacers so the wheels wouldn't hit the calipers. It shimmies at highway speed because of the spacers. I bought all the late suspension parts from PMB but now the calipers I have won't fit.   |
