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) |

@BENBRO02
Something is wrong. Any idea what? [/quote] Yes, You have late struts, looks like early calipers. Cant tell for sure on the calipers from that angle. Do the inlets use Banjo bolts 12mm or a direct 10mm line nut ? The change is a VIN 19032. I can see the taper pin in the bottom of the strut so the struts are late. Think you need a pair of late calipers to match to what you have. Bruce |
