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

Hey Luke
I have S alloy calipers on the front and 914 6 rear calipers (widened 10mm for
vented 911 rotors) on the rear.
With the 6 rear calipers the ebrake cables rub against the exhaust.
This is especially true with headers.
To remedy this I'm going to install 911 ebrakes... I need to find suitable rear calipers.
I do have a full set of 944 turbo calipers and a 23mm MB master.
How did the 944 Turbo calipers mount to the 3 1/2" struts ... and can they mount to the 914 trailing arms ?
As you probably know I'm running 16" Fuchs so no clearance issues.

@rgalla9146 What can I do to help you brother, pictures of the bottom of my 6 and a
picture of the vented rear 914-6 caliper. My cables do not touch the Heat Exchangers. I did have eric set up a rear trailing arm with tube reinforcements and Elephant bushing for my V8 car that we changed direction on That was going to use Boxster non S rear with Rich Johnston adapters and vented disks
