The pad overhang was not as bad as I had originally thought.....taking the pads to the bench grinder (recommended by a high performance brake pad engineer), I just need to add a chamfer to the edge of the pad to get rid of the overhang......pretty darn easy once I gave it a shot....
the adapter itself will be pretty easy to make and shouldn't cost me much at all for supplies.... I know have to decide what color to paint the calipers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Attached image(s)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) I was going to get a set of 4 piston Porsche brakes AGAIN (put a set on the 944) but for the price difference I like what you have done! What are you putting on the rear? I picked up a set of Ford ?(don't remember the model of the car) front brakes for my CJ's rear, and may try them on a 914. They have the parking brake on the front of that particular model. Also have a set from a Lincon mark 4 for my Suburban rears. Thems is biguns, but are single piston floaters.
