Bought a set of early (70-72) rebuilt rears recently that didnt come with hardware (pins, springs, etc). Like a smartypants I sent back the old hardware with cores.

I can only seem to find oem hardware for fronts, or aftermarket front hardware advertised as rear (like Centric part # 117-90004 on ebay).

Does anyone know of a source for that sort of stuff before I go buying a used set of calipers?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) PMB Performance would be my personal first choice. However, if they are out of stock, I did find them at Auto Atlanta. Not my first choice, but I was in a pinch.
I did find new "c" clips (the clip that holds the pad bolt inplace) at ACE Hardware

If you didn't buy your calipers from PMB, it's likely you will soon. In all the years I've been working on 914s, I have yet to find another caliper rebuilder worth the time to buy from.

All my brake parts come from Eric. His expert advise is icing on the cake.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the welcome.

The new calipers came from PMB actually. I contacted Eric previously regarding the hardware and he didnt seem indicate that they had any. He mentioned they are in the middle of moving the company, so maybe they were packed away. I'll give him another try, he's been hugely helpful thus far.

P.S. Mikey, huge props to you too. Nothing like your site existed when I started this project 12+ years ago (dropped it for a few *cough* years to get a degree).

Wow! Thanks Eric! Im not sure if its what you meant, but if you have enough for two calipers I would be eternally grateful. Shoot me an invoice if you need to. Either way, you've got my business in perpetuity.
