I just got off the phone with a guy here in Australia who is preparing a run of alloy calipers for the 914. Apparrently these are a direct replacement, including handbrake.
And for the xenophobes among you, yes they will be available right there in the USA. So will these rims. (I just ordered a set of the rims today). It seems that the Formula Vee crowd here like 914 parts. All this is still a few months away. (Except for my rims... they'll be here by Tuesday!) Attached image(s) ![]() |

The ones on the site are Beetle calipers, and they are ATE calipers. I believe this guy is making new calipers not yet shown on the site, and there's no knowing if they're ATE or not. My mistake on the 40mm thing. For some reason, I was thinking the stock /4 fronts were 38mm, when they're 42mm. The stock rears are 36mm, and something bigger would be a plus. Of course, so many people like the 19mm MC "upgrade" even with stock front calipers that going to a 40mm front with a 17mm MC would still give you a shorter/firmer pedal, but not as much as putting a 19mm MC in with 42mm calipers. |
