Hi there all! I am brand new to this world and just purchased a '74 914, 1.8L. Right off the bat, I need to tighten the parking break, fix a carb vacuum leak, tighten clutch cable and improve breaking.
I plan on bleeding the breaks and cleaning them up in general. I also came upon this kit and seems like a decent deal. From what I read, I should stick to the OEM calipers so this is just rotors and pads. https://brakeperformance.com/brake-rotors/p...ASABEgK1dfD_BwE Thoughts on this? Is there a kit out there that is more proven in this forum? I am all ears and pumped to dive in! |

 The rebuilt calipers from PMB really are works of art and great folks to work with. They’ve done several for me with a quick turnaround time if desired to have yours rebuilt, or have rebuilt ones available to ship with a core charge. BTW, the Chicago Region of PCA is extremely active. You might want to check them out as there are several 914 enthusiasts among the membership. You also have one of the best 914 shops in the Midwest with 914Ltd. (Brad Mayeur), and a great source of used parts from 914 Ecology (Garold Shaffer) |
