Here is how I utilized 914-6 calipers with 911 caliper spacers and vented rear rotors. In addition to splitting the calipers and 911 caliper spacers, I used a spacer between the caliper mounting bolts. I also wanted to use the stock dust shields so a spacer was fabbed between the dust shield and mounting bracket. DH

Way ta go Michel
Kargeek (sorry no name in the sig)... I'm shocked that a spaced -6 caliper doesn't hit the arm with those spacers on the caliper ears. 914 calipers are usually so tight that customers have to take off the 10mm rear adjuster cap just to get the caliper to mount...

Eric, I did this conversion 18 years ago with NOS 6 calipers, swapmeet 911 calipers for spacers and a local porsche shop supplied me the mounting spacers. I don't remember a problem with clearance...I haven't had the car apart since. Dave Hall-aka, Kargeek.
