Hey just wondering if anybody might know where I can find a set of late model type three front brake calipers, they only reproduce the early ones, and I'm having trouble finding a used set. I believe that Porche 914 fronts are the same, if that helps.
If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears!
-
I probably have a set but they have been sitting in a bin for ages. will need a rebuild if a rebiuld kit is available?? How should I tell the difference between early and late calipers?

hey thanks Matt, early calipers are a little smaller and the spacing between
the bolt holes is wider on the late ones
-
I have a pair that need rebuilding.
-
What are you asking for them?
-
Mike,
went out and dug them out today, I have two of the early ones and a three of the late. but you'll have to drive half way to Calgary to get em! let me know.
-
There is a brake rebuilder that is really good just down the hill from me, want a price from him ready to go?
I have the rotors, too. Want it all?
-
Matt, I'm sure I'll enjoy the drive! when can I get em'? What time are you home in the evenings?? and how many beads do you want for them?? hehe
Thanks anyway Tom, I appreaciate it. :)

There's a VW 412 at the Ralphs on Mitchell Island, will its calipers be the same?
-
I beleive so.
-
Come and get them Mike, they are yours free, I'm sure I'll need something from you eventually. I'm usually home from work around 6:00, and I have Sundays, Mondays off. you chose.
