Wow, very nice, Eric. Seems you're a pretty smart guy. I'd be really curious to have seen those before the paint.

Labor of love... they're an experiment for my car. Lots of meticulous welding, some filler and sanding That's the primer coat. They'll be black.

If someone could make a fiberglass mold from them it would be worth it otherwise, I have hours into them... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I would think so. I was already thinking down that line.

For your every day average street driven 914 there may be some foreseeable disadvantages. The main one I'm thinking is; "debris". As with any brake cooling system you have to be careful with small stones and rubber from the track etc. Maybe a screen.

I don't think that's a dumb question at all. I just threw that out there but, I'm not sure "if" glass would hold up there. Look closely, on almost every pair of these rear shields I've seen, that rear hole is cracked. I'm just going to put a washer on there and bolt them back on. It's possible the cross stitch nature of glass cloth may alleviate this... maybe not? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) That said, there's plenty of glass shields out there, even some carbon fiber varieties.

Derbis would probably be the down side , screens would work , I've seen them on others. Glass might be an alternative , insert a piece of sheet metal in the rear bolt hole area before it sets , the bolt side could be thicker , leaving the mount side about the same sufrace mount dimension , just simply make that area thicker , maybe glass in some sort of screen material also , Just musing dude ........

Still looks great !!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Do our rear brakes really need much in the way of cooling?

Nope but when it's free (no weight penalties etc.), every little bit will help keep fluid cooler and that's the goal. Fronts are in the plans.
