No.

Unless you're talking 6 vs 4. They were the same physical size. The -6 pistons are bigger.

TIP: If you want to rebuild -6 rears buy the 914-4 rebuild kit (with the caliper 1/2 seals and the adjuster seals) and then get the early 911T rear kits for the piston seals.

The only difference is whether the are single or double bleeders. The doubles were on the later models.

James....

not sure what you are after, but I was going to be attempting to test fit a modern OEM rear caliper that has a built-in parking brake similar to the 914.

plus = aluminum, readily available

negative = will require a custom mounting bracket (no big deal for some IPB Image )

Wasn;t the 914/6 rear caliper also used on the Ferrari...um 308?

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 1 2005, 07:13 PM

Yes. With spacers for a vented rotor.

Actually, the 914/6 rear caliper is physically bigger than the 914/4 and uses larger pads.
The 914/6 caliper is quite similar to the 911 rear caliper in size and the outer casting is the same.
