I got these, rebuilt by eric shea, from a member on the site here.
Went to put them on tonight and realized they look a little different than the ones that are on there now. Will they work ok or do I need different ones?   |

They look like 911/914-6 front calipers because of the spacer. They will not work if you have stock suspension.

Thse look like M calipers ( 3.0 in bolt spacing )that were used on 69-73 911 , 914-6 , note where the bleeder is on both to make sure you got left and right. They do look nice .

to use those you will need a pair for "magical mythical Billet 4 bolt front hubs"
And then a pair of SC front rotors. Or you need to change to early 911 front struts/hubs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (5 lug conversion) |

I know a guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) that made the prints for those, and another guy with a full CNC shop sitting without work....But, don't want to step on toes. |

Depending on what you paid , you might trade for same condition 914 front calipers or rear for that matter . To use them will take more $$$$.
Good Luck Jack / Jaxdream |

M-Calipers for sure.
DanT nailed it. The "ClubHub" would be the only way. There was a guy making them "Mark" something. Nice guy in the LA area I believe. -or- I have a set of struts and 5-lug hubs... but then you're on a slippery slope. |

Good Luck Jack / Jaxdream Jack I have new rears from Eric. I would definitely be interested in trading for the correct front ones -- no desire to go 5 lug at this time. Anyone here interested?? |

not a bad price for hubs, rotors, seals and bearings.
I ran them on my last car with M calipers. Also ran the stock 914 fronts in the rear (not suggested for the inexperienced in brake biasing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) Attached image(s)
