Had a 1974 914 2 litre car for about 4 years now. Heard a grind this week, pulled the right rear wheel off. long story short I need a caliper and a rotor. Looking to source locally if I can, already saw what Pelican has on their site. I've called a local auto parts store and they are trying to see what they can track down. Called the local Porsche dealer too, haven't heard back from either yet. Want to autocross the car this weekend, and I'm north of the border so shipping from the states takes time.
Question is, is there an upgrade that is a bolt on? I read something on the pelican site about BMW 320i, but I think they were referring to the front. They also referred to some Volvo parts... Do the calipers bolt on, or is there mods to do it? the BMW parts might be easier to source... Another option: What's involved in going 911 sized parts on the back? Car already has 16x10 5 bolt wheels on the back, 16x9 five bolt on the front... spacers bolted on the back, drilled rotors on the front. I think it has enough brakes for what I do with the car, but more never hurts!  |
