I ground the caliper down a little as the clearence wasnt that much. A wheel spacer probably would have been easier but I was anxious to get it going.

When Kennedy did your flywheel how did they do it? Machine the stock 914 center hub out and drill the chevy pattern around the stock flange? Got a picture of the flywheel?

Brett;

Here is a picture of a flywheel for a 2.8 V6. It's from the engine I had in my 1975 914 autocrosser for 6 years. The 2.8 was the first version of the 60° V6 that grew to the 3.1 and 3.4.

Here is the front.
The flywheel used a 200mm clutch, 2700LB, and Gold Disc.

KEP offers up to a 9" which I would recomend spending the extra $ for although I never had any slippage problems and my 2.8 was not stock.

Damn that is kinda scary looking. I am sure it works and Kennedy does great work, but I would be afraid of the weld breaking. I think I am going to do a mechanical connection on mine. I am trying to decide whether or not to run the standard 901 clutch or upgrade toa Tilton style 3 disk unit. Tilton sells a 'button" which I can adapt to the V8 flywheel and then I can use all Stock car parts. I am kinda on hold until I talk to the Tilton engineers to figure out how to get the clearnences measured for the throwout bearing, pressure plate, and adapterplate. Kennedy doesn't make the adapter plate or the flywheel, so I am kinda on my own for this one.

Thanks for the pics though. That gives me an idea for how they do it.

The setup I am checking out will have an aluminum hat with an 11.75 x .810 vented rotor. It will use the calipers from the mid 80s- mid 90s Volvo 190 and 240 for the vented cars. With our mounting flange the fronts will easily accept a the 11.75 rotor. No over hang either. It will also include a .250 spacer for the wheels.

Mike
I haven't decided if it is necessary for a street application but the four pot calipers would work on the rear as well. This top secret project I am working on right now would use them on the rear. Same rotor but different hat design.

Still have to figure out which master cylinders to run. I have a street car to test them on if John would get the motor back in the damn thing.

Brett,
I might be interested in hat/rotor....those Volvo calipers weigh too much for me....I picked up a set of aluminum AP 4-pot calipers...hope to get them this week and then I get to see how much fabrication to get them on the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

Mike...that little V6 is going to be fun...I've always felt a V6 is a better choice than an V8 for our cars....

Sorr I forgot to post about that. The rotor and hat work well. I had to turn down the diameter of the hub centric ring (I am not using hub centric wheels) to make the hat fit over it. I could have machined the hat but incase it wasn't right I didn't want to mess up my refund. Anyway, the Volvo calipers will require a little bit of machining to the inside of the mounting flange. The caliper sits too far in. I think .050 should work. I may have a set of early struts I can test with as well. The volvo calipers from the vented rotor cars will easily handle the .810 vented rotor.

I will try an post some pics this weekend. This should put an end to unreplaceable rotors and fixed hubs. I figure a 23mm master cylinder from a 930 should work or the Mercedes master cylinder. Since I am running dual masters my options will be different.

I also grabbed a coilover sleeve that looks like it will work as well so I will be going to a coil over setup.

The Volvo calipers are indeed heavy, but they are very cheap and very reliable for the street. I can pick up the calipers for 26 a pair if not for free. I think you can use 930 pads in them if you redrill the caliper to take the same mounting pin.
