914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914/4 vs. 914/6 rear calipers...
Posted by: Wanna9146 May 18 2008, 07:00 PM
Is there a significant difference between 914/4 rear braker calipers and 914/6 calipers? Can they be interchanged?

They can be swapped as a pair, but you might change the brake balance.
The 914/6 uses 38mm pistons vs the 914/4 33mm pistons.
The 914/6 uses the same size pads as the 914/4 does on the front, but requires the large hole for the large pin.
Naturally, the 914/6 rear caliper is larger than the 914/4 variety, but does look similar.

note the lack of a rib on the back side of the 914/6 caliper
