Alfa Calipers Options

[rgalla9146]

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

Hey Bob
Tell me about the Boxter rears and the Rick Johnson adapters.
Do you know the diameter of the Boxter pistons ?
I can't clearly see path of the ebrake cables in you pics.
In my car the cables will be melted by either HE's or headers unless I torture the
the path away from the trailing arm bracket
I have S alloys (48mm)in the front.
I need ~38mm calipers for the rear.
This nearly follows the original ratio front to rear.
The 911 ebrake install is to remedy the cable issue.
What is the finish on your HE's ?
Your car is beautiful.
