SWB Rear Brake Caliper Bolt Spacing...
Hello Guys...
Has anyone retrofitted Boxster brakes to a SWB car? Seems like all the vendors sell are for '69-on. What is the bolt spacing on the LWB cars? 3"? What is the bolt spacing on the SWB cars? Then what is the difference on the SWB cars? What other differences are there such that no one makes an adapter? Thanks. Sprint. |

SWB cars used Ate 'L' calipers on the rear which have 2.5" bolt spacing.

And just curious. Is 2.5" an exact measurement or an approximation? I thought the Germans are metric? They measure most stuff in mm, right? Goodnight! ![]() Sprint. |

2.5" is an approximation, as are ...
3.0" spacing for Ate 'M' calipers ... 3.5" spacing for Ate 'S' amd 'A' calipers ...

Here are the relevent portions of the Ate catalog ![]() ![]() dimension "F" was 76.2mm = 3" on "M" and 88.9mm = 3.5" on "A" Inch measurements were not uncommon on older designs, another example is wheels
