I am rebuilding a pair of 1974 front brake calipers for my 914. They have two brake bleeder screws which distinquish them from the earlier style that has only one bleeder screw...
Anyway, the square seals that go into the grove in the caliper are not symetrical. They are thicker on one side than the other. I am thinking that the thick side goes away from the pad side of the piston...right? I think that would be right. The stock ones that came out seemed to be symetrical. I hate guessing when dealing with brakes! I always remember when I am at 100 miles an hour. hmmmm....did I put those seals in right? |
