Do 914/6 and 914/4 use the same rear brake pads?
Thanks in advance |

I beg to disagree. I have original sixes and a four. The sixes are bigger.

Don is correct. The 914/6 rear uses pads the same size as the 914/4 front. The pds are not the exact same as the fronts though due to the two differnt size pin holes on the rear. They are as thick as the early 914/4 front. Almost the same pads as the 911 rear except for the pin holes.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) At least in the past there have been online places that sold pads that were the wrong (914-4) ones. I think a database got screwed up somewhere in the past. I just buy front 914-4 (early) pads and drill half the holes bigger. The late 914 pads don't work as the calipers were redesigned to use thicker pads to make them last longer. |

Early 911s used smaller rear calipers and pads, the same size as 914/4s, but with symetrical holes for the pins. See, blanket statements can often be misleading. The Cap'n |
