Forgive me if this has been ask a thousand times but is there any alternative rear brake calipers I can install in replacement of the stock 914 rear calipers? Looking for something that is a direct replacement.

rebuilt 914 rear calipers...

or ferrarri 308 rear calipers

or 914/6 rear calipers


its a unique parking brake set up
you can change them and loose the parking brake
or retain them and rebuild them, have a parking brake and pass state annual inspections.


just call Eric... get pretty, basically like new ones from PMB who does the very best work and restores them to like new!

I agree, go with Eric. He did mine and converted to the 308 style! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

When I was performing State Inspections you had to have a mechanical parking brake. I was cruising through the regs the other day and it didn't say you couldn't have a hydraulic lock on your brakes instead of a mechanical. Maybe has to do with the new electric p. brakes some cars have?
