964 Brake Calipers on an 80 911/Will it work?

[Stackett]

Will a set of Front and Rear brake calipers from a 964 bolt on to an 80 911? Is there a difference in the bolt patterns and if so, how hard is it to modify?

Thanks.

Look here and try searching. It can be done 3 ways, 2 are ok one is not. You decide which is which.

Anybody else know if they will fit?

[911-32]

No, they will not bolt on. Yes, they can be made to fit, but not with std 1980 front discs and not without modifying/adapting all 4 calipers. This has all been covered before if you search, but that is the simple answer.

BTW - Bill Verburg knows more about brakes than anybody. So in response to your question - it's yes, it's been done. Is it direct bolt on? No - see the links. And I recommend you read what Bill has written about brakes. It will save you mucho cost, headache, and frustration.
