Hi,
I recently bought a nice '76 2.0 that I would like to give some extra goodies. One of the projects I'm looking at is doing a 4-5 lug conversion. I read most of the articles describing the process of doing so and I think the route with a 911 front suspension is the way to go. So I found these parts of a (supposedly) 3.2 911 online but then the questions start popping up. The missing parts are break callipers and master cylinder. As I understand 3.2 breaks also use a break booster. Is that also needed or would a 19mm master cylinder also work fine? What breaks should I search for? What will work and is doable for a newbee 914 fan? Anyway, thanks in advance for helping my with my shopping list. Thierry |

You have everything you need there. But buy new rotors, and I would suggest finding a set of Boxster calipers and adapters for the brake calipers. They work great, and you can use a 19mm 914 master cylinder with them.

Any Boxter year breaks and adapter supplier you can recommend? Best regards, Thierry |
