That screw looks like a RIBE head, not a TORX, is that correct?

no, they are torx.
The screws are original pieces from ATE.

ATE used RIBE bolts on our calipers (early only IIRC).

Yes,
I am intersested in a set for a 914-6. But what do you mean by a"group Buy"? Cannot I buy a set direct, and from who?

Hate to rain on the parade but...

I have -4 kits in the resource section for $175.00 (click the V-caliper link at the bottom). They include the needed rotor spacer and the needed pad pins that don't seem to be there...

914-6/GT kits can be obtained for ohhhh $50-75.00 by purchasing the ever plentyful 911 rear M-Caliper. The spacers and the hardware simply transfer over to the 914-6 caliper making a perfect factory 914-6/GT caliper.

Sorry, again, I don't want to rain on the parade or hault business but...

Ohhh.. and factory is Ribe.

Can you get more? 7mm Ribe hardware is non-existent here in the States. I could use quantities for our regular rebuilds.

So what does the /4 kit do? Allows one to run a rear vented rotor? One would also have to do a 5 lug conversion, correct?

Yes. a -4 kit allows the use of a vented rear rotor. Perfect if you have the 914Club hubs up front etc.

And, no. You could actually drill a 5-lug vented rotor to a -4 Pattern.

Eric, have you looked at torx-plus fasteners? They look awfull similar to ribe. Surely they aren't interchangeable, but in the looks dept I bet you could even fool a concours judge, and the hardware & bits are easy to get.

SMD

SMD, the problem is to find 7mm hardware in the 60 to 70mm length 1.0 pitch and the correct strength. Head type is of little concern. Actually TORX is not as strong as Ribe. Just like a Phillips, you can't torque them as much. I have no problem getting the Ribe tools, but just one supplier I can find.

Hi Eric
you don't rain me on the parade......

I'am a private person, this is not my business. Only in this case I have found a scource thats makes these kits......with original ATE seals and bolts.

O-Rings (I hope, I have this seen right in your pic) are not recommended from ATE. ATE says:"They are not high pressure solid and not resistant against brake fluid.

I am waiting for an answer from ATE for the bolt head. Ribe or Torx.

Wilco

Good luck with your kits Wilco.

We specified "brake fluid" (ya think?) when we went to the o-ring manufacturer... not sure how you or ATE can determine what rating we spec'd from that pic. but... it makes a good story.

Let us know what you find out on those bolts.

Even in Europe it's still tricky to get the correct 7mm bolts. I looked a couple of years back for DaveP
