What Alfa Romeo alloy caliper (from what model car) is suitable to replace 3" front calipers ? AND...is it suitable for use on the rear of a 914 with 911 vented rotors ? provided 911 emergency brakes are adapted. TIA |

A 48mm piston is way too much for the rear of a 914. Tge 4 cylinders used 33mm, the 914-6 a 38mm.

How about with adjustable proportioning valve? Matt I imagine that would work but then you’re spending a couple hundred dollars extra just to loose a couple pounds. Not a bad thing but an expensive way to loose weight. It’s always nice to build around the bias that the Porsche engineers figured out. |
