Is there such thing as 1973-only rear brake pads? I'm referring to OEM-style pads, not pads for a modified aftermarket brake system. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

i don't think so. rear calipers are 72-76 (73-76?) check any vendor for rear pads and see what years the rear pads fit.

All 914/4 rear pads are the same, 1970 through 1976. Where does it say otherwise?

Uh, a well-respected Porsche shop said so on the phone today. It didn't make sense to me either. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Probably a newbie sales droid. I cannot imagine where their info came from though. I cannot think of a 1973 specific brake pad for any Porsche model.
Cannot get quality help anywhere these days unless you are willing to pay the price and do your homework. |

I wish I could say it was a newbie but nope. The quote came directly from someone who has been in the business for a long time. Pelican, GPR and AA show rear pad sets for 1972-1976. No mention of 1973-only pads. Perhaps I heard wrong but not likely. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

Heard wrong, or told wrong, it's still wrong. Same pads, 1970 through 1976. The Cap'n |
