I have a new 914 friend locally and he has BMW 320i vented front brakes on his 914. From what I can gatter, all they are are standard 320 brakes but with a spacer or shim for thicker rotors. Has anyone installed or modified their BMW brakes for vented rotors because that would be cool?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) JP, I don't think you can use the standard 320i caliper (78'-83' model) for vented discs. BMW 320i's did come with vented rotors in 1977 only if I recall correctly. The question is...what rotor is he using on the front end of his 914? You either need the 911 front end or the custom aluminum hubs that Mike Mueller was making to fit a 4 cyl front end that utilize the 911 vented rotor. Take some pics and show us I would like to see what you are talking about. Dominic |
