Where do I begin? So much talk about brakes and I am nocloser to a solution. I went with the 2002tii brakes from 1972 on limited information and got burned. The posting says they are a bolt-on to the early 914's so I tried them. No good. The bolt spacing on them is almost a 1/2 inch different. Did I get the wrong year? And does someone have the dimentions from the BMW 320i rotors so I can order a custom vented hat/rotor for my 1972 914 2.0? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

If you really need some better brakes then the first choice is the BMW 320i calipers on the front, stock rear and loose the prop valve and add a 19MM or 23MM master cylinder. A better solution is a set of the 4 bolt alloy hubs and use the M calipers and vented rotors and the rear the same as the first choice. The Volvo calipers are bigger but I found them a little too soft feeling for my taste on the race car and they pretty much require a 23MMK m/c.
