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) |

What's the piston size? What's the pad size? Do they include the handbrake as the first post mentions? Are they an 'aluminum' alloy? How much do they weigh? All points to consider when choosing a brake 'system' and choosing to spend buckage on an 'alloy' caliper. Alloy S-Calipers will save you about 3 lbs. per corner. I would imagine a smaller 914 rear caliper would be less... How much are these? They could be a really 'big deal' if they exist. |
