Okay, I need to have my memory refreshed here. If I want to put stock 914-4 front calipers, 73-76 type, on the rear, is this a direct bolt on? I know I need to bend up new hard lines or do you need a banjo fitting?

Ed

BTW- I know that I will not have a parking brake.

If you put fronts on the back, add an adjustable bias knob and take out the factory proportioning valve. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have M style front caliper. They are off of a BMW, not 320i, a larger BMW with vented rotors, 5 series I think. They have larger pistons than the Porsche M caliper.

With the stock 914 fronts on the rear, will I need a proportioning valve? Right now I have a T with the stock rear caliper with no braking issues.
