Even though this video is old some things never change much, like how to work on brakes of a Porsche. My P-car mechanic Dan has a small shop and it is just him, his lift, tools and excellent know how to do anything on cars. And for me I get a bonus because I get to come to his shop and watch him most anytime. But sadly I had to work and I missed out on how the emergency brakes are replaced. I know they don't work like regular American cars where the emergency brakes are somehow connected to the car brakes. Your video took all of the mystery out of this job. Clear and concise without a lot of jibber jabber as you worked on the projects. For me, ideally music never comes is present when Mr. Canary is fixing and describing what is happening. So many young You Tubers who have channels think loud raucous music is needed to AMPLIFY the moment. THIS IS NOT A ROCK CONCERT, it is a tutorial on science, magic and car fixin'.

Well done, my friend! Interesting swap for the Alpha calipers. Good find. I like your presentation. Appreciate your apprentice making a cameo. (Good dad!)
I love automobiles. lol.....so obvious! I have sat and watched you videos for hours.....some I've had to rewatch as my eyes decided to rest on their own sir. Sorry....It's not that you're boring! HAHA! Not one bit! I'm recovering from my 3rd spine surgery. I've had 2 fusions....on on Dec 19, 2018 and the other on Sept 3, 2019. My last one has had a few complications. 2 of my 6 pedicle screws have decided to break loose and back out causing a LOT of pain. I just wanted to let you know, you gave me something very interesting and different to watch. I also love you integrating you daughter in to these. I'm sure she's all grown up now since these are a little over 2 years old now! Again, thank you!
Kav, who did the plating on the Brembo calipers? I heard the yellow zinc wont stick to aluminum? What process did you use to plate them? Did you use your stock booster? Did you have to mod anything else like the brake lines? Thanks!
Rebuilding mine now, I am missing one piston rest are stainless steel. I am thinking just swapping them all out with aluminum or is it worth keeping stainless steel ones?
Easiest way to release brake pistons is to use hand grease pump with cheapest grease you can ever find. Caliper and pump hose thread is the same usually.
When I upgraded my 912 brakes to vented I made the spacers in the callipers, rears were easier, for the fronts I worked out what seal was required bought the right end mill and pilot drill made sure the depth of the hole allowed the correct crush on the seal.
When the calipers were zinc plated did you also plate the bores of the calpiers? If so there wasnt a problem with the plating thickness effecting the piston seal? Fantastic work. I love it when a very complex machine is broken down to its individual components and those components are restored to new. Must be a thrill putting all the brand new stuff back together
Never ever zinc plate the Inside. Use silicone to coat the bore. After plating remove the silicone. And clean the bore out. If the plating comes loos it will defintly leak brake fluid. Greets from the netherland
willemhoitink so do you literally fill the bores with silicon caulking prior to sending it to be plated? I’m facing this problem now and would love to see the method
Hello, nice video. I'm restoring ATE brake caliper from 79-80 911 and I need to replace the 8 black screw but I don't know the reference, and I don't find them on internet. Do you have a solution ? Thank you
Liberal amount of anti-seize on the brake pad...Don't! Not a single brake pad manufacturer recommends this, very dangerous practice being passed on from the old days.

Get better soon! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the detail!!
Awesome videos good sir!
so excited to finally see another video! make another when you get those awesome looking brakes back on.
Cheers! Soon Roman soon!
She's a Porsche master mechanic in the making.
Thank you for a very informative and
inspiring video .
Thanks Kjell!
These calipers remind me of aircraft brakes. Very nice work Sir.
Thank you Sir!
Nice work, thank you for sharing. We just ordered the Aluminum version of these Alfa "M" calipers to save some mass. Hope all works out!
hi where did you order them from? thanks
Glad to see you're still at it.
I try and find the time!
Excellent video. The same calipers were used by Ferrari on 308's
Good to know!
Happy days

Cool!
can you elaborate please?
eljimberino q I have put a description ‘vented disc upgrade’ in the pelican parts from. Hope you can find it and it works out.

Nice :)
did you sandblast the milled surface between the caliper halfs?
waiting for new videos :)
No I left those as is just gave them a good clean
Hello friend, I'm from Brazil, you can put subtitles in Portuguese, I liked a lot of your material, for me to translate here, thank you.
Is that shot of your 911 overlooking a bay in Marin County? Is that Mt. Diabo in the background?
Yes Marin County.
I realize this is an older video but do you have a parts list and where do you get the kits?
