Does anyone have the experience and time to briefly describe any needed tricks to delete the brake compensator on an early car / This, so as to make way for a 6 engine mount?
Things like / Is more brake line needed in addition to the "tee" fitting? And is the tee a hardware store item or another "porsche-priced" item that would be metric, brass, and overpriced by 3x?... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) Sounds like a good time to change out all brake fluid as well. I have heard the warnings if one is running 914-4 brake calipers / I am not and have nice beefy 911 calipers which will do the job up front verses in back. Thanks in advance.

YUp, I feel the missiles coming in from Eric........I put the T" in about 1980, Stock brakes, high performance pads, race fluid. Engine was a big bore four, Webers and cam. Very fast in the day, lots of auto-crosses (Scca, Pax, PCA) and three plus years of Road America....high speed, wet, dry...Went home with a few/lot of Chicago PCA trophies....and never a braking issue. My 914-6 GT Tribute will still have the original T. And NO, original lines do not need modification.....Eric's stand is on the mark, he is selling top shelf products to keep you safe if you have not done the testing or have the understanding. Best, Mark
