Trial-and-error 930 brakes installation 4

[Harpo]

This has been an exercise in patience. I had to wait 3 weeks for USPS to deliver these 930 calipers. Yes this is the wrong caliper and that's why I mounted it upside-down. The correct caliper is still being cleaned in the ultrasonic tank. I didn't use the 930 caliper spacers ( 930.351.581.01) as others have done. Instead I used 4.4mm thick washer from the hardware store (way cheaper). Also with the 951 rims I didn't have to add spacers between the hub and the wheel. This also means that the rims I just got back from powder coating can't be used. These are the newer caliper design with out the banjo fitting. Not sure if I will have to back date the calipers

I attempted to create my own hat and rotor but ended up buying this assembly from Steve Weiner from Rennsport who was very helpful

Dave, you're good on the fronts. The factory brake-lines for the front caliper to the flex hose is all you need on the fronts. The rears area different story....

Thanks Stevie,

I do have the the 930 hard lines to run from the calipers to the flex line.

I have already trimmed of the ears from my trailing arms and fortunately the calipers had already been modified to fit SC arms

[Harpo]

Because my rear calipers didn't come with the required spacers I made these. They are 8mm thick.

I've heard someone called this "Van Gogh-ing the trailing arms"
