944 calipers on all 4's or Ghia fronts and 914 rears?

E,
You can do it it even more simple and bolt-on!:
Just use (what you in the US call) Ghia front disks and the complete 944 only rear disk 'conversion'.
The Ghia parts are stock items and the 944 ('83 to '85) will bolt right on. Just make a little modified handbrake actuator out of 4mm steel plate(: very simple), so you can use your existing handbrake cable.
More (all) info is in this forum: very elaborate.
And no, it doesn't overbrake that way.
Good luck,
Walter

Wally,

originally I thought of doing the very same thing, but thought it would be biassed to the rear. I guess it is simple, and I already have the front Ghia disc brakes. I want to make sure that the brakes are as good as they could be, due to the type 4 motor i have, and the 2270 i'm working on.

Does anyone know if there's a Kerscher vented rear disc disc setup?
Also, have any of you found a machine shop where to get the brackets made?

Ephry,

I think the biggest problem with having someone make the brackets is liability. If you were ever in an accident, and the (your) car turned out to be modified, particulary in the braking system - with the right backing (lawyers) the nice folks who made the brackets could be sued until they were dry. That's why most custom/performance parts are sold "for off road use only". Gets them out of the liability issue. It's one thing doing something for yourself and dealing with your own mods and liability, totally different for a business. I think the best thing to do, unless you have access to the required machine tools is to go with tried and proven products available commercially. Costs more for sure, but in most cases it's a bolt-on proposition!
