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

Next mystery.
I've had these 911(what year ?) 944 (?) ebrake parts for years thinking they might come in handy.
Thing is, they seem different from any others that I've seen used in a 914 conversion.
The shoes are wider and the retainers are flat spring steel. See photos.
The shoes are wider than the contact area of my 911 vented rotors so
~1/8" of the shoe hangs outside the drum, so not compatible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
The intesting part of these is the stop for the bottom of the shoes is incorporated
in the backing plate. Maybe this feature can be added to the more compatible
911 ebrake parts.
What years of 911 parts are best for this conversion ?

Well mine was a clusterF$&@. I would not suggest to anyone. It works fine but what a PIA. You need 69-73 parts and the best part is you get to modify the bracket out of them. Had to have a machinest machine down the brake shoes. In the end I was super irritated with the process. Parts are very hard to find
