i have never had a working park brake on any 914 ive ever owned.so i have got pretty used to not using one.i have read several times that you can use front calipers on the rear.what do you need to do to make them work ,is it just a bolt up operation.i noticed the offset is diffrent
what shims to use?
can you use washers ?
