I am in the process of installing a 1971 911 front suspension. I think its a 71, anyway, I put all new bushings, bearings, brake lines, rotors, and I am using Volvo 240 brakes witht he 3 inch spacing with spacers behind them to correctly position it on the rotor. It bolts right up and I am sure it will work but my question is, it doesnt look like it sits down on the rotor like it should. The factory calipers that came with everything are the M calipers and they dont even fit over the rotor. Am I missing something here? Were the rotors for earlier cars thinner? These were for a later model car I think. I had them cross drilled. But I ordered factory vented rotors and this is what I got. How come the factory M Calipers dont fit over them? Or am I making a mountain out of a molehill? I want to be able to stop. Help!

Well, I havent made a decision on the rear yet, I have several sets of stock rear calipers with the E brake but would like to go larger. I am doing a V8 conversion on this car and the extra weight will need bigger brakes. I am installing the T in where the rear proportioning valve goes. And upgrading the master to the 19mm. I got the 6 rear rotors and have been told to run the stock caliper, I will have to shave them down. I would like to run one that I dont have to do that with but would also like a rear E brake too. Suggestions?
