QUOTE Yes, the rear calipers are widened. Rich did this to fit the vented rotors. I wanted to retain rear parking brake and reason for sticking with stock 914 rear calipers. What all is involved if I want to put vented rotors on the rear of my factory 6? Can I just purchase the rotors, spacers, pins and bolt it all together? Jeff Attached image(s)

For an original 914/6 caliper, just find some scrap 911 rear calipers with the spacers. Just transfer the spacers, bolts and seals over. If you look closely you will find the outer castings are the same. For a 914/4 rear caliper you need some custom machined spacers. The best source of the longer bolts are from the scrap 911 caliper. The pins can be a problem because the 914 pins are different, and there are no longer ones I know of. They may need to be fabbed. The spreaders would be 911 parts.
