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? |

Danke Rich! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
That's hard to believe, especially on a 74 but... stranger things have happened. 72.5 I can see but... Anyhooo, I've seen "transition" calipers on the rear but none yet on the front. That's probably due to the volume of rears I do. A transition caliper is an early looking caliper with the later guts. I've run across a couple pair. I'd really be interested in the answer to this riddle. That 74 should have new style calipers... Dan, your question limit is up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) Just kidding... V-Caliper can be seen here. You would use a standard 911 rear vented rotor through 83. Turn around time depends on cores in stock. I've had a run on them in the last week so I'm getting low. Also, with specialty studs, I like to send the hub to the machinest "with" the stud so we get a perfect fit. Plan on a total of two weeks. The machinest can take a week. If you want them for racing then plan on the open nuts and 72mm Verbus studs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |
