I'm in the process of putting 911 brakes up front.
I have 2 sets of calipers and noticed one at has a wider space between the 2 caliper halves than the other set. Are there different thicknesses of rotors or what is the purpose and how do I know which one to use? Just test fit and use prices of elimination I suppose? Attached thumbnail(s) |

another question
the spacers between the caliper halves, should those stay matched to the calipers or can they switched? If caliper #1 was a wide and caliper #2 is normal is it ok to swap the spacers and make caliper #2 the wide one? |

If caliper #1 was a wide and caliper #2 is normal is it ok to swap the spacers and make caliper #2 the wide one? Spacers can be switched to at least some extent. For example, I gave Eric a rear M caliper and a 914-6 caliper. He used the spacer and hardware from the M caliper to remake the six caliper into a 914-6GT caliper. But again, I would go to Eric for exact specs. |
