Coupe of questions about brakes. First of all what is the difference between "M", "A", and "S" capliers? Is it the mounting bolt distance? Early vs.Late? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
Did the 914/6 come with "M" capliers? If not what did they come with? Can these brakes be upgraded to something like the "big reds? |

Had my coffee. Here's what I see so far. Front calipers on my conversion car have one nipple, no spacer and solid rotor.
Ida, as you taught me, has spacer and vented rotor, 1 nip. Took camera to garage to shoot the "mystery" caliper (could it be pre-69 911? or BMW?) and battery gone. Also noticed that six caliper had banjo fitting, mystery had flare fitting. Film at 11. |
