Hello fellas,

I am ( still ) looking for some BMW 320i front calipers for my 914. If anyone has a set, please, PLEASE let me know!

Thanks again,

They're fairly cheap as a reman'd set too. Make sure you make the correct modification to the caliper if you have 72-76 front suspension


Edit: now I see they're out of stock....

Try this source, says it's able to ship.....

Check out my most recent edit, Orileys says they have them available to ship.

About 1/3 the way through the article it talks about the modification necessary

Also they must be ATE calipers, NOT the Girling type

That is not true. The Girling calipers need to be modify the same way the ATE calipers do. I have done both. I could have another set modified and rebuild them.

Ahhh, I see. The pelican article says to use the ate and not the girling. Thanks for clearing that up beerchug.gif

Bruce,

Are they for solid rotors or vented rotors?

Please let me know when they are ready for sale! I am looking for something.

I really don't want to buy an entire front suspension from a 911...! Ugh

I purchased a pair on Amazon, took the instructions to a local machine shop and had them modified.
You then need another brake line that you bend to fit.
I also added the 19mm master cylinder.
Not that hard.

I had a set of struts from a 69 912 that used Koni inserts. I used them on my 914 with 914 rotors and 912 hubs. Everything bolted together, no machining and converted to 5 lug using left over parts.
Oh yeah I used BMW calipers too.

What 914 rotors can be bolted to 912 hubs?confused24.gif
Maybe 911 solid rotors?
