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)

As noted, I use the M calipers which have a smaller pad than the BMW but allow use of the vented rotor which finally bcame to a head when doing the street races in Mexico. I had the brakes boil since the straights were pretty short and there was no time for cooling those solid rotors. It was a little scarry since the pedal did not want to get better until after a few laps of slower driving.
