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)

Jeff,
The spacer needed to center caliper over rotor is simple. Just use a appropriate thickness flat washer between caliper and where it mounts to trailing arm to center. The caliper mounting bolts (2) will secure. Hope that was clear. Note: centering the caliper is easier than trying to relocate the rotor. Just mount the rotor and secure with two mounting screws. Mount caliper and you will be able to measure exactly how far off you are from center. This is the washer thickness needed. If this did not make sence, let me know and I'll pull a wheel for pictures.
