Brakes . What fits what

Post by haasad »

My 75 911S has the alloy ATE front calipers and iron rears as a 911RS. They need refurb. BUT last night I was given a set of four porsche brembo four pot calipers suspected to have come fron a 930 turbo. .

So the mounting bolt pitch doesn't match but I can easily fix that. Question is will I encounter problems with disc thicknessor offset and wheel clearance on 15 inch wheels. ?

I'll post some pictures of them later if it helps but some (basic) measurement last night seems to indicate that the major dimensions aren't far off.

Any advice or opinion?

Heres a few pictures . I would really like to confirm what the calipers are off since that is key to identifying suitable rotors etc.

cheers

They could be 964 C4 calipers I may have some rotors if so.

Alan, yes thats a possibility I might have to have alook at those rotors. But a 944 is also possible. Trouble was they came in a job lot of "handy stuff" a race car builder friend bought about eight years ago.

I'll look for numbers?

Just had a vernier on them and a magnifying glass.

Rears

4 piston 30mm and 28mm diameter

Fronts

4 piston 40mm and 36 mm diameter

Rears are numbered
20.4672.00
20.4673.00

Fronts
20.4691.00
20.4692.00

what do you reckon. 964/944 or 928. I'm convinced they'll go under 6 by 15's.

the 930 discs and calipers just go inside 7 and 8 by 15 Fuchs - mind you there is no room for the wheel weight inside the rims

So Ian,

do these look like 930 calipers? I really want to use them but need to identify so I can select the correct rotor option.

I vote with James - they look like early 944 brembos.
The early ones had the raised cast lettering, the later ones are smooth with the lettering as a stencil/paint.
