I just bolted them right on and slid a new pair of pads in. The pad width is the same and they line up with the 914 pad marks in the calipers.
NO machining! I still have to deal with the duel lines, but not a big problem.
The front rotors are the same non vented type we have on the 914. the calipers are bolted on the 2002 on the rear side of the rotor. the 914's calipers are bolted in the front side of the caliper.So you use the right BMW caliper on the left of the 914 ect. The calipers are a duel line 4 piston with more pad area than our 914. The master cylinder is power assisted. But so is the BMW 320. With a 19mm master cylinder these brakes be hot!
