With the disks installed, I can mount the calipers, and connect the hard lines. I used the hardware I got with the rebuilt calipers from PMB. I will save the old bolts I had plated with yellow zinc for a special occasion.

I tried to use the new spreader springs I got, along with re-plated pins. But the spreader wings are too short, and actually fall inside the pad backing plate. Probably not good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Here's the new spreader vs the old. I think the new one is for early calipers. Have to track down the correct ones, since one of my originals is broken (and dirty is not good).

Is this a porsche manufacturing shop and trying to assemble and new 914?
Congrats again and good job with the restoration @bkrantz!

Been watching this thread and saved majority of the pictures for my reference.

Got my modified rocker arms, plus new shims, studs, shafts, and swivel-feet adjusters, all from bugguy1967.

With just a bit of time, I decided to mount the muffler shield. I modified this to bolt in, and had the shield powder-coated with high-temp material.

Here are the receiving studs, on the underside of the trunk, on custom Z-brackets.

Shield in place. I may redo the fasteners with hi-temp anti-seize.

Nice job on modifying the muffler shield. I was looking at mine last weekend wondering how I can strip the trunk floor beneath it - is it originally spot welded on?

That looks great Bob.
I coated my heat shield with the same ceramics that are put on mufflers.
Time will tell if it helps with heat into the rear trunk.
Mine is also easily removable with a couple of nuts.

There's mine lurking back there in some kind of silver ceramic color....

Your car is looking so good (incredible).
Will you ever drive it I wonder?

Originally, the shield was attached with C-shaped brackets, welded to the shield and floor. I wanted to be able to remove mine, so made it bolt-in.

Thanks, Doug. I sure hope I can drive it (i.e. first get it running, and then get myself to take it on the road). I already have an almost garage queen.

A bit out of order, but I installed the rear sway bar. Just enough room to sneak it past the muffler shield.
