Well, I said I wasn't going to go the big brake route but a full set of 993 calipers landed on my lap for cheap. Note that this requires the 951 Fuchs on the front to clear. but I had them already.
I slotted the rotors in my mill. Quick and easy and saved a bunch. Here are a couple of pictures. Note the size and venting compared to the 77 911 rotors. The calipers weigh about the same but the rotors are 4 lbs heavier! |

Paul - If I had known you were doing this, we have a couple of mounting ears all cut up and tapped, profiled for a perfect fit to the arm (makes for easy welding).
I think your right about not redrilling the caliper. Looks like a nice setup. Make sure you get your pad materials right as you won't be putting much heat into them. Matt |
