I just got off the phone with a guy here in Australia who is preparing a run of alloy calipers for the 914. Apparrently these are a direct replacement, including handbrake.
And for the xenophobes among you, yes they will be available right there in the USA. So will these rims. (I just ordered a set of the rims today). It seems that the Formula Vee crowd here like 914 parts. All this is still a few months away. (Except for my rims... they'll be here by Tuesday!) Attached image(s) |

There's a selector box on the right that sets the currency shown, Oz or US dollars.
The prices also include "GST", which is the value-added tax. It's normal in Commonwealth countries to include the tax in the price, but you shouldn't have to pay it in the US. Shipping, however, would be pretty steep. Perhaps a group buy is in order. The calipers they show for Beetles are made by ATE, use 40mm pistons, and are only US$83 each . If the 914 calipers are even close to that in price, I'd buy a set in a second. |
