Coupe of questions about brakes. First of all what is the difference between "M", "A", and "S" capliers? Is it the mounting bolt distance? Early vs.Late? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
Did the 914/6 come with "M" capliers? If not what did they come with? Can these brakes be upgraded to something like the "big reds? |

Eric,
Your quote: "I'll have a 200-220hp -6 in my GT with S-Calipers up front and 911 M-Calipers in the rear (T-Fitting). I'm using the 911 handbrake assembly. Same basic setup that came on a 76 930 (with 240hp and a similar 7 & 8 x 15 wheel/tire package) " So how did you get the 911 M calipers to fit on the rear? Will those fit on the rear with your modified 5 bolt control arms? IF so are those M front Calipers or match M rears? In my conversion I am not concerned about an "E" brake so I am just looking for a good fade resistant system for the track that will stop well and not require bleeding after every 30 minute session. Years ago I had a 914-6 with a 2.7L RS motor and had JFZ 4 pistion calipers front and rear. The bias was always too much to the rear. I want to avoid this problem this time around. So what would be your preference among these choices? M calipers front and 914 rears with ebrake. M calipers front and 914 front calipers on the rear with no Ebrake. A calipers on the front with M calipers on the rear with no ebrake SC complete front and rear with no ebrake. Complete Carrera fronts and rears with no ebrake. What type of adapters or whatever would be required to make these work with the modified 5 bolt control arms. I just want to do this one time. I contacted Rich and he seems to think the SC calipers will just bolt right on to your control arm ears with 3 inch spacing. Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
