Looks like "M" calipers .... 911 style .... Spacer 7 or 10 mm? Bolt spacing 3" or 3.5" calipers.

Or a serial number or location? |

Looks like some sort of wear sender on the spreader spring. Maybe MB or BMW.

Wide A-Calipers better known as Carrera calipers. Same as an A-Caliper but for use with a 24mm (heavy) rotor.

If you want them, I've got them. 24mm worth of rotating mass is the last thing I'd want on a 914 unless you have a rather large engine. It's the absolute worst place to add weight.
I'd trade them for regular A-Calipers (same pads, same pistons) and use the lighter 20mm rotors. I have those (A-Calipers and 20mm rotors) as well. |
