Porsche brembo caliper brake swap for 473$

[Dustert73]

Any updates? Still doing routine inspects for cracks or other issues?

Curious how the angle iron is holding up.

Thanks.

Hey, all is good to go with it. I’ve been keeping up on an inspection schedule while it was in service. Currently it’s in storage for the winter.

I used the Mazda 4 piston finned alum calipers, and didn't need the 90* mounts .

Bolts to the factory caliper bracket?

Bolts to the factory caliper bracket

Unfortunately not, but only needed a flat piece and a washer for the adapter piece .

Nice set up and i guess pleanty of performance pads availble

for 14 inch wheels this used to be the way landcruiser caliper upgrade - Mopar Muscle Association UK
things might have moved on since then..

but for 14 inch wheel guys with disk stub axles its viable if you are handy and have a friend with a big lathe

Re a later booster, I used one from a 1990's Intrepid on 1974 Dart firewall brackets-lever in my 1965 Dart. I only had to rat-tail file the bracket holes a bit to match the booster's bolt pattern. I used 2 nuts on each stud to adjust the distance from the firewall. The rod fit the lever pin, perhaps I needed a washer to take up play (forget). I didn't use the Intrepid MC since the reservoir was sloped (like yours), but a late 1990's Breeze ABS booster fit and still has inv flare ports (later ones changed to bubble ports). ABS because only 2 ports. Booster barely clears the valve cover of my 273 but I have cast-alum Weind covers which might be taller than OE stamped steel. You can make it out in my avatar.
