Jeff, I didn't realize the Volvo caliper in the photo is off a turbo. They look big. I guess I can see what you mean by tooo much braking power.

david.avery, I haven't tried a stock wheel. I am running 125mm wheel spacers behind 15X8 Fuch copies. I'm checking into several fit questions, thats one of them. One thing to contemplate in the meantime, the 2002's come from the factory with 13" wheels. So the calipers are compact. Also BMW guys often upgrade to 320 factory 14" alloys. The fender lips need to be rolled because the 320 wheels stick out more than the 2002 style. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it is highly likely they will clear.

I measured the piston in the BMW caliper. It measures 33.95mm or 1.3365".

I also measured the distance from the bolt flange mating surface to the parting line on the caliper half. Both the 914 and the BMW 2002 measure 21mm or .8270. This is a diffecult measurement to get, so this are close appoximate measurements.

Does anyone have an early and late style caliper to measure? I have so much snow in my driveway I can't get into the garage where I have my friends 914.

It is the calipers from the early and late cars that are different, isn't it?
