I think I've cracked the code using Rockauto as a muti-vendor and part # resource.

It appears that somewhere along the way mfg's and or vendors got cheap / lazy / whatever and threw the front and rears together as the same part # and or used different part #'s for the same part. There were several vendors on Rockauto that did this, as did O'Reilly's and several other vendors. I though I was ordering rear pads form O'Reilly's but received (bigger) front pads.

I did find some pads that actually looked like the rear pads I have / took out of my car. Using those mfg's part #'s I did an internet search for pads. Turns out that not only is 4000003000 is a rear pad for a 914, it's also the front pad for a 1969 VW Fastback and K-Ghias as well!

I went back in to Rockauto to search for pads for a 1969 VW fastback, and voila! I found the exact same pad part # at $14.84, and... there's a kit version, part # 4000003002 that includes the hardware at $18.36!

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/volkswa...,brake+pad,1684

I also dug around on Rockauto and finally found the 914 brake hardware kits, but only on 1974 and earlier 914's, not 75' or 76's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Another 914 rear brake pad part # is 1551003000. A search for that one popped up on the AutoNation parts website with pics, a full description, all dimensions (that match my pads!) and a list of 100+ other vehicles that pad (supposedly) fits! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

All this is subject to verification, but the last part # dimensions on AutoNation look spot on! I'm ordering the VW Fastback kit from Rockauto and see how it goes.
