914/6 alternate rear calipers Options

[Racer]

The rear factory calipers on my 914/6 are giving me some annoyance. In this case, the passenger side rear caliper has developed a slight weap. Its been an issue for the past two years. I've addressed the hard line, soft line and had the caliper re-built, but still, there is a slight leak.

Since 914/6 rear calipers are somewhat difficult to find in working order, I am wondering about an alternative use rear caliper while I sort the issue.

Knowing I would forgo the handbrake/e-brake, would then period (early 911 - 69 911T/912) "m" rear calipers work? I imagine the 912 or early 911T had solid rear rotors vs later vented (wider) rotors and calipers?) What are the piston size differences? How different is the mounting? Would I need a portioning valve installed or modified? Do they work with the stock rear rotor?

The car is otherwise very original, so I am not looking to upgrade everything brakes, just the rear calipers

I know the other answer is "reach out to PMB, they can help you"... and I will.. Just thought I'd ask here too.

TIA

Digging around, it would seem the 69 911T and 912's used a solid rear rotor. Starting in 70, they went to a wider (vented) rear rotor. So, the 70+ rear M caliper from a 911 might be too wide. Not sure if they ran spacers to accommodate the wider disc or if the casting was different.

It would seem I would be exchanging one very rare rear caliper for a only slightly less rare rear caliper.

Indeed, I do want to have working 914/6 rear calipers. But given the small production run, if I run into a scenario where the existing rear can't be rebuilt, then I need a back up plan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Plus, running an alternate rear caliper would give me time to have the originals rebuilt without losing any driving downtime.

You can remove the spacers and use the more common 9141 caliper. I would still just fix the original since it is on a six and making changes will only devalue the car.
