Will rear calipers from a 70 911 work on the rear of a 914 and allow vented rotors?
Thanks. |

Whether they'll fit or not, you won't have a handbrake without pretty extensive modifications. It's illegal in every state to operate a motor vehicle without a parking brake on the street , in case you care. The Cap'n

If you care to use the search function you will find extensive discussion on the requirements of caliper fitment. I completely agree with The Cap'n, that operating a vehicle without a FUNCTIONING handbrake is illegal pretty much everywhere on this and most every continent. The handbrake is there to act as a failsafe in the event of primary (hydraulic) brake failure, and MUST be in working condition. Acting as a parking brake, by means of the ratchet mechanism, is considered an additional bonus.

Yes, with 5mm spacers under the mounting ears.
1. What will you do for a handbrake? 2. What will you do to balance out your front to rear bias? |

1) It's a race car. It has no E brake now.
It has a dial bias valve now and I'm going to 944T fronts at the same time. I want to get rid of the rear adjusters that we have to mess with constantly. Thought I'd go vented at the same time. Eric, I need to put the 5 mm under the ears, not the rotors? Thanks. Fred QUOTE(Eric_Shea @ Jan 18 2008, 02:06 AM)  Yes, with 5mm spacers under the mounting ears. 1.
