I picked up some 944 turbo calipers at the swap meet at the Ventura show, I was told that with slight adjustment of the mounting holes they will fit on my 911 front end. They are aluminum black and say "PORSCHE" in raised lettering and it says BREMBO on the back , they are 4 pistons the top pistons are slightly smaller than the bottom ones . They said it was origionaly from a 89 944 Turbo. Have any of you guys seen this done ? Would it work with my 15inch rims ?

You should be able to pinch the retainer and thus unlock it.
If you go on the Pelican 911 Technical list and do a search you will find lots of excellent info. Follow the advice of Bill Verberg and Grady Clay. I think the best advice is to mill off the existing caliper mounts and bolt on a set of adapters. However, I don't see why welding up (plugging) the existing holes and drilling new ones will not work well. Perhaps welding causes more problems than milling and drilling. |
