Quick story of origin. My cousin bought an old Beetle cab a few years back that had been converted to Porsche 5 lug. The fronts were a disc kit, and the rears were drilled drums. However, these rear brakes came with the car, and he gave them to me. He has no idea what kind of car they came from, and neither do I.
- Bolt spacing is same as Porsche 5 lug - Calipers are ATE, 3.75" spacing, single piston, no PN found - Hubs are 12 spline stamped Germany SHW 477 501 605 - Backing plates are stampted with a similar 477 xxx xxx number - Parking brake assembly similar to 911 inside disc - Spacing on 4 mount holes is 3.5" diagonal - Discs are vented, 11 3/8 (290mm) Given the design of the caliper, these appear to be old, like sixties old.

5mm or "basically" 1/4".
You mentioned getting hubs, I have 45 and 50mm studs in stock. You can easily pull your fenders out "by hand" 1/4". Machining the caliper mounting tabs would not be my first choice... |

Machining the caliper mounting tabs would not be my first choice... The reason I ask is that I have a lot of room in my fenders with 205/50/15s on my 5.5"s. I am hoping that I will be able to go with 15x7s without too much fender work. Don't know if 5mm will make that much difference in the end. Of course I could try to find 5 other people who want flares... Thanks, Eric. You will be getting some of my money soon. Ken |
