What Alfa Romeo alloy caliper (from what model car) is suitable to replace 3" front calipers ? AND...is it suitable for use on the rear of a 914 with 911 vented rotors ? provided 911 emergency brakes are adapted. TIA |

A 48mm piston is way too much for the rear of a 914. Tge 4 cylinders used 33mm, the 914-6 a 38mm.

I do intend to adapt 911 Ebrakes. What caliper is suitable for the rear with vented rotors, a 19mm or 23mm master and 911S alloy front calipers ? |

S front & M rear were factory spec for the mid 70’s turbo. That was a heavy car. |
