Hi guys, just joined as I've just got a 914. Need a little help with parts compatibility and wondered if anyone could help?
Car is a 74 914 with a 3.2 Carrera engine, 901 trans, and it stops with 911 SC vented rotors and calipers all round. Thing is, it doesn't have an emergency brake. The car was built in California but here in the uk it cannot be road legal without one. Do I go 911 style drum in disc or 914 style ebrake on a calipers? Thanks in advance |

I haven't been to your site in a while, Chris, and it's impressive. You've added a LOT of stuff, and it's all cool. Well done, I hope you do well with it.
I'd like to get more info about the e-brake kit. There are photos, but it's hard to see anything more than the cables and tubes. You say the kit includes a bracket? Is it possible to get more details? Is there something more on the site somewhere? |

The brackets are shown in the top picture on my site, they just don't stand out. The next picture down shows the pieces already welded on a trailing arm but the brake shoes and other components aren't on yet. Only the tophats are mounted. Jack, 1/8" angle iron pieces are plenty heavy to do the job as long as they're welded securely. |
