What rear brake caliper is this?
These are on my '74 but I'm thinking there are not original. Bought Poterfield replacement pads AP-31 R4-S for them as this is what I was told by the vendor fits but it does not. New pad on the left and old one on the right.
Thanks for any help ![]() ![]() ![]() |

2.43" wide is correct for an M
I don't have the specs for an L but that's the only caliper that I know of which is smaller than an M Just for information an A is ~3.02" wide

Thank you very much Bill. It looks like the vendor (Porterfield) put the wrong pads in the right box for my car. Trying to work it out with EBS..

Just order the rear SC pads (1978-80) for M-caliper.
Someone obviously upgraded your 74

all 911 from at least '69 to '83 use the same rear M caliper and 20mm thick rotors
from '84-'89 the rotor was increased to 24mm, and the pistons were also increased in diameter from 38 to 42mm though still M sized case and the same pads(except that at some point which I'd need to look up the pads were equipped w/ wear warning capability unless the rotors are 24mm there was no change if the rotors are 24mm it's a downgrade because bias is ruined
