I got these, rebuilt by eric shea, from a member on the site here.

Went to put them on tonight and realized they look a little different than the ones that are on there now. Will they work ok or do I need different ones?

They look like 911/914-6 front calipers because of the spacer. They will not work if you have stock suspension.

Thse look like M calipers ( 3.0 in bolt spacing )that were used on 69-73 911 , 914-6 , note where the bleeder is on both to make sure you got left and right. They do look nice .

to use those you will need a pair for "magical mythical Billet 4 bolt front hubs"
And then a pair of SC front rotors.
Or you need to change to early 911 front struts/hubs (5 lug conversion)

Is anyone still making those hubs? I know a guy that made the prints for those, and another guy with a full CNC shop sitting without work....But, don't want to step on toes.

Depending on what you paid , you might trade for same condition 914 front calipers or rear for that matter . To use them will take more $$$$.
Good Luck

M-Calipers for sure.

DanT nailed it. The "ClubHub" would be the only way. There was a guy making them "Mark" something. Nice guy in the LA area I believe.

-or-

I have a set of struts and 5-lug hubs... but then you're on a slippery slope.

That's how it all starts..... welcome to the 914 world

Jack
I have new rears from Eric. I would definitely be interested in trading for the correct front ones -- no desire to go 5 lug at this time.

Anyone here interested??

these http://www.bradrobertsag.com/product/4-LUGBILLETHUBS/9144-Front-Seat-4-Lug-Billet-Hubs-with-rotors-bearings-seals.html
will work with your calipers...

Posted by: rwilner Feb 17 2011, 10:00 AM

only $367.50!!

Posted by: DanT Feb 17 2011, 10:15 AM

not a bad price for hubs, rotors, seals and bearings.

I ran them on my last car with M calipers. Also ran the stock 914 fronts in the rear (not suggested for the inexperienced in brake biasing )

That is a good price for that set-up complete.

If you can convince my wife of that fact, you will have my eternal respect and admiration.
