You may want to consider painting parts of your brake rotors.
Otherwise they will start to rust the minute they see any water.

I masked off where the pads contact the rotors and then sprayed on a high temp gray paint.
Then I baked them in the oven per the intructions on the can.

I also masked the area where the hub and the rotor mate to keep the surfaces true.

This was done at least five years ago and it holds up fine for a street car.

Another picture of the painted rotor.

The strut is a RSR style raised spindle for a 16" wheel.
(can be raised a little higher than for a 15" wheel)

Notice the reshaped steering arm and the gussets for reinforcement
where spindle welds to the shock tube.

Just stock '86 930/Turbo Look brakes.

If I put brakes this heavy on my 914 it wouldn't go fast enough to need them... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

lol Andrew!

Karl, you fail to see that you are under scrutiny by the central scrutinizer.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

What's the time frame? Side bets!

Long story on the harness...

I bought it about two years ago (before I even owned the current 914). Sold it about six months ago... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Recently re-acquired it!

This is my old picture.. but it will be back in my posession soon!

I still saved considerablly from what AA wanted for the only other one I could find!

Installed Bump Steer Kit

you may not need the bumpsteer kit with the reshaped steering arms on the RSR struts; they're both correcting for the same geometry/placement factor. my guess is the steering arm change will get you into the ballpark and you'll need at most a teeny shim under the rack to make it perfect. unless you're also relocating the rack in the tub, in which case i donno ...

i'll contact you offlist about pricing and sourcing - i want those struts (possibly the 15" versions) on my 911 this winter ...

BTW - fog light seals arrived just fine, thx.

Those RSR struts aren't mine. They belong to another dsmeyer!!! I have regular Bilstein struts.
