Rear brake rotor compatibly; 65-68 911 vs 912E

[bkreigsr]

Looking for help as to whether or not the rear solid rotors from the 65-68 911 will work on my 1976 912 E.
The reason being, I found someone who sells drilled units, and that's what I want:

Please don't turn this into a forum on pros and cons of drilled rotors.
Thanks in advance

I went in to the Pelican catalog, looked up a rear rotor for both a 912E and a 68 911 and they were the same part number so knowing that I would say yes you could use that drilled rotor.

Thanks Ryan.
That part on the second page of the illustration scared me - all the fitments go into a Ford F-150.

Update: The definitive answer:

I took a chance, and ordered the rotors from ********* on Ebay.
They would not work without modifications to the mounting ears on the trailing arm.
The main difference is the depth of the e-brake hat. The hat on the 912E rotor is over 1/4 inch deeper (higher).
Using the new rotor this would bring the rotor 1/4 inch further away from the hub. I was not up to dealing with this via spacers, and bending the lines.

The good news is that the vendor issued me a pre-paid FedEx label for the return, no questions asked.
