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)

Yes I did read the threas on brake conversions and while there are many people talking no one is saying very much. The 320 is the most common and seems like a good option. I was really leaning toward the Volvo or the 2002tii because of the extra pad. There is scattered info on the 240 and the 2002tii seems more like urban legand, scattered sightings with no proof.
John...Where have you been racing? I am doing this because I intend to race this car and the extra pad is too much to resist. Did you get a bigger rotor with the new calipers? Or are you running the stock rotor? What master cylinder were you using? What pad? I just can’t wrap my head around a 4-pot caliper not being better then the 1-pot 320. What else have you done to keep the 320 from fading late in the race? If they work with no fade then that may be the way to go. |
