914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914-4 Rear Caliper Question

Posted by: Tbrown4x4 Dec 22 2017, 06:07 AM

Sorry about this, but my Google search didn't get the results I wanted.

I need to go through my rear calipers, but I can't have the car down very long. PMB isn't in the budget. I know the front calipers are different from early to late, but are the rear calipers the same for all the 4's or not?

I have a '73 DD, and a '71 parts car, and I was hoping to restore the calipers on the '71 and swap them onto the '73. Is this going to work?

Thanks for any advice!

Todd

Todd, I believe the only difference is top and bottom bleeders on the later model. Check you parts car.....single bleeder. Best, Mark

FYI the '73 has self centering wheels whereas '71 does not.
'71 rear calipers have RIBBE fasteners '73 has standard but very high hardness factor for the size of the bolt.
