Being 9/14 it seems like a great day to post the progress of my version of the 911 hand brake conversion. First off, many thanks to Timo and Wilco for their posts which gave me the direction to get started on such a task.
I just switched the rear control arms on my 911. I got a pair of aluminum control arms and they came with both hubs and hand brake assemblies. Lucky me... I now had a set of 71, 911 hubs for my 5 lug conversion (just got the stub axles from Mittlemotor) and a set of 911 hand brakes. My front struts have been replaced with the Koni struts and S-Calipers. I had the spindles raised on the struts by 18mm. For the rears I needed some stopping power to match both my S-Calipers up front and the 220hp six that will be going in the car. Current status after this weekend: Control Arms off the car. Hand brake cable mount was cut off. Rear shield mount ground off. 2mm ground off the extensions on the rear bearing housing. 911 hand brake assemblies rebuilt. All parts glass bead blasted. Hard parts painted with POR-15. Mechanicals replated in silver zinc. Reassebmled and test fit to the 914 control arms. What's Next? Control Arms go off to get sand blasted. Boxed control arm kit welded on. Repaint with POR-15. Mount 911 front M-Caliper. Mount vented rotors. Rebuild CV's and Axles. Here's some pics: Attached image(s)
