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. |

As you probably know I'm running 16" Fuchs so no clearance issues. i have 944T brembo's front and rear which were fitted by PO, I believe the rears are mounted by welding up the old threaded holes and repositioning them,the struts have machined offset inserts threaded into them which as an engineer I think is a clever solution. All calipers have special 1mm spacer washers that fit between mounting ears I presume these are to centre the calipers to disks , running ER 5mm "shim'' spacers @ the front with 7x16 Fuchs . PO added new 19mm master cylinder and the whole lot works very well together ,only solution in our country as adaptors are illegal. . |
