914World.com _ 914World Garage _ I forget…. Which front calipers can be used on the rear?

Posted by: brant Feb 19 2022, 11:34 AM

I can’t remember
Which front -4 calipers can be mounted on the rear (with spacers)

Is it the early ones that have the close offset?

Mine was a 74, move to the back with I think 1/4 spacers. This was with the five bolt conversion and 911 front calipers. Works very well...but no hand brake. Mark

Thanks Mark. But unnecessary
I’m just cleaning out milk crates full of parts. Trying to figure out what to save and what to sell

Because of the parking brake, does it matter.

Well, bigger pistons...more braking in rear when more braking is added to front.

I'd certainly appreciate having it. I can use some extra front brakes I have on the rear of my race car (no parking brake). I'll PM you.

Just the calipers or do the rotors go back there, too? - Greg

Edit: doh, just saw you're talking 5-bolt. I'm still 4-bolt...

I still have the solid rear rotor so it is not affected by the five bolt conversion.
