Hi guys,
Can someone tell me/confirm if these rear calipers are for a 914-6? Thanks, Bill.      |

I thought the spacers were only for vented discs. And the 914-6 didn't have vented discs from the factory. So they're not -6 calipers. They're 911 calipers.
Even if they were front 6 calipers, they aren't special. They're just 911 calipers, you can get them all day long relatively cheap and the spacers can be added if desired. The rear 6 calipers are unique to the six and command a higher price because of rarity. |

I know where you can get a set that has already been assembled with new parts by PMB, if anyone is interested. PM mikey914 |

PM mikey914 I think Eric told me that the Ferrari unit had something different in the bleed valve. Something in its position. Eric said he could change it. We went over it when I was looking for rears from 6s for my 74 -V8 car. Bob B |
