Hello 914 World! I am happy to say hello and introduce myself to the 914 World, as I recently became the owner of a '73 914 6 conversion that I found here in the classifieds. It's an original 2.0l car and I have the numbers matching motor in storage. In it's place is a 3.0l out of a '79 911 SC. The car was 95% done and now is a driver and on the streets while I sort out some known and some unknown issues. One of which is I don't have a parking brake any longer due to the installation of some beautiful, updated brake calipers from a Boxter/Cayman and 911 rotors. I have talked to Patrick Motorsports and a few local Bay Area Porsche experts and nobody has an easy or $ reasonable alternative. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!
I have found the Wilwood Rear Brake kit for $3k. I have also found the option to go with OEM 914-6 rear brakes, which is also cost prohibitive. I really don't want to go backwards which is why I am asking all of you for some help. Much thanks! Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Basically you want the 911 drum brake setup. Boxster uses same parts. A piece needs welded to the trailing arm. The stock cables are too short, thus the extension kit mentioned, or new cables. How much it costs depends on the shop.
I think PMB has a bolt on parking brake caliper option from wilwood. |

That would be very nice! Clean new parts easy to find! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Please provide more info! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
