Metric brake fitment question aka cheep brakes Options

[macnichol]

I think my brakes may be toast, I’ve been soaking them in a mix of Marvel Oil and some leftover unused diesel weight truck motor oil for about a month now and I hope they come free. We’ll see if they come loose with some pb blaster too. Do any of you guys know if this fits for front brakes?

I know it’s probably not going to be as good as oem, I’m just a poor college student haha. My goal here is simply driving and stopping safely, I’ll do a full restoration in a few years when I’ve got the money to. I’d just hate to miss out on these cars and then have them skyrocket the way 911’s seem to have done.

Both are pretty fubar'ed but I'll check how they're looking once I get home. The guys in my auto shop class mentioned a quick fix would be to get front brakes and crimp off the back brake lines w/ vice grips, but I'm not too hot on that idea unless I'm out of options.

Another option for the front, is a BMW caliper conversion...not talked about too much lately...pretty popular as an inexpensive conversion back in the day...although haven't priced these parts in a long time. Most have gone with the 5 lug conversion and Porsche "M" brakes in the front.
