Hi,
My mechanics have been working on my recently arrived 1970 914-6 and tell me I need a LH rear brake protective plate as the current one is only half there. Both current rear plates are non vented and are goldish colour. However in the parts cd there is a vented plate with a number starting 901... which I bought assuming it was for a -6.My mechanic now tells me it doesn't fit. I have also seen black non vented plates on this site and e bay. Which ones are correct for my car c/n 1907 May '70 build ? TIA Dennis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I would say that from looking at the PET 603-00 that there is a protective plate for the -6 different from the protective plate for the -4. The PET gives a PN 901.352.801.21 for the -6 and 914.352.801.00 for the -4. The retaining bar PN is the same for -6 and -4. My guess it it will be very difficult to find replacement plates due to the limited number of -6's made but who can tell; maybe they were commonly removed and maybe someone has them. Best advice is to place a WTB ad at all the usual sites. There is a link to the PET in my signature.

The six has a different dust shield than the four, and the six dust shield is NLA and has been for a long time. Check Bruce Stone on this site, or place an add in want to buy on this site.

Paragon products may have a solution.
He has backing plates that are for brake cooling systems, but he may have blank ones not advertised. rich |

Are you sure you don't need the bracket that mount to the shield as well?
