Bad idea? good idea? Thanks Andrew |

Some (maybe even most?) discs with parking brake actually use a little drum brake inside for the parking brake. Seems like I've heard of someone adapting a 911 setup like that to a 914, but I don't think it was easy. The other problem is many modern cars use a floating single piston caliper, which would also be difficult to adapt to a 914.
I know the front of an 87 Subaru GL-10 has a caliper with integrated parking brake (yes, I said front). But it's the floating type, and it's big and heavy. I saw no easy way to fit it on a 914. |
