I got these as a present from my Dad, but I simply don't know what kind they are... 944?

Looks like "M" calipers .... 911 style .... Spacer 7 or 10 mm? Bolt spacing 3" or 3.5" calipers.

Obviously I don't know but that doesn't stop me from posting.

Hmmm, is there an archive I could try to visually match it to? Or a serial number or location?

Looks like some sort of wear sender on the spreader spring. Maybe MB or BMW.

Wide A-Calipers better known as Carrera calipers. Same as an A-Caliper but for use with a 24mm (heavy) rotor.

I take that as a good thing? So I need heavy rotors? Any chance you might sell those Eric?

If you want them, I've got them. 24mm worth of rotating mass is the last thing I'd want on a 914 unless you have a rather large engine. It's the absolute worst place to add weight.
I'd trade them for regular A-Calipers (same pads, same pistons) and use the lighter 20mm rotors. I have those (A-Calipers and 20mm rotors) as well.

...unless you have a rather large engine....
They where originally my Dads when he was going the 3.6 route, so that explains alot. I'll PM you...
