Eric, since you asked so nicely in the thread that we hijacked, here are some pics of my e-brakes using stock 914 brake cables. I just finished them up, and there are some slightly fuzzy pics, but here they are..... (pre-blog even)

The SC rear calipers (having the same bolt spacing as the rear of a 914) will bolt up.
They do need small spacers to center them on the rotor. The required thickness is: (2) 1/2" SAE FLAT WASHERS I like the SAE flats as they are flat on both sides and are smaller in OD than standard washers. The spacers can be between the caliper and the mount (together with longer mount bolts) or under the rotor hat. I prefer between the caliper and the mount. The only other modification I made to the calipers was to open up the mounting holes to 9/16". This allowed me to move the caliper radially away from the center of the rotor just a little. I did not turn the rotors down at all. The rotors are stock. While the calipers cleared the rotors, I felt that I wanted just a little more room in there for thermal expansion (in case the rotors grow radially when hot). I now have almost the same clearance as a 911 has between the rear rotors and calipers. |
