Andy, what paint did you use on your rotors?



VHT 1850 deg. header paint

Good move, I will do the same on mine when my car comes back from the shop. My rotors have surface rust that makes the fancy parts look ugly.

Is this car going to a museum when finished? Auction?
Way too nice to drive! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)



Thanks for the great compliments!!! I plan on driving it a lot and fully enjoying it for many years and 914 events. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) The VHT header paint held up great on my 72 rotors and keeps the rust away.

More bling from PMB installed!!! Got out to the garage after work and set the back spacing to center the calipers. Should have all the brakes done tomorrow and bleed the system (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Andy- Very nice. Did you grind down the trailing arm reinforcements for clearance for the GT calipers or did you space the rotor outward? My car will stay narrow-bodied so I can't afford to space the rotor outward.

Thanks, I opted for the tube style reinforcement adding the two you see in the photo so I think your referring to the stock brake adjustment tube in the swing arm? I did grind the outside tube down per Eric Shea's recom. to clearance the caliper from the swing arm. It cleared (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Andy, I don't remember if your rear hubs are "hub centric" or not. If "hub centric", a 5 mm spacer under the caliper ears is necessary to center the rotor. They don't look "hub centric".

Forget it ... it's a stock six now that the grey cells have kicked in!

Pretty sure the bleeder and line go on the inside. If the bleeder isn't on the top, how can the air get out?

Yeah, this was the first side and right after I realized the dust shields were not correct for S calipers and took the rotors off and deleted the shields. I did notice it was the drivers side and both bleeders are on top.

I had a few steps backwards today but got it done less the proportioning valve and bleeding

Wow! I have been away from the World for the last year and just spent the last 20 min on your thread. Having gone through some of the same process it's amazing to see it in pictures. Your quality of work is amazing and trust me in the end it will all be worth the trouble and time. My GT took 5 years and I never thought it wold be done. Badm

You don't need clamps on the reservoir blue lines. No pressure there.

Did the 914's 6 and 4's come from the factory clamp less?

Maybe overkill but maybe not a bad idea to insure the lines never come loose and drip fluid on the paint.

This is the original line and it had claps on each hose? Not to say a PO had done it but it's the way it was when I got the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I don't disagree with Mark, but nobody ever lost their braking when they really needed it by clamping a hose that didn't technically need to be clamped. Mine appear to be clamped from the factory as well.
