Brake gurus identification help please
Can someone that knows much more than me confirm what calipers I have on the front of my '75 911? I thought they were "M"s and the rebuild kit I ordered as such certainly seems to fit right but a brake pad order has thrown what I think I know into question.
There seems to be 3.75-4" between mounting bolts, I don't think they are Aluminum but? A conversation w/ Pelican regarding my order today makes me think that the front and rear calipers for my car should be the same size, they definately are not.   Thanks, Travis

If the mounts are 3.5" OC then they are either A or wide A, both use the same pads.
M mounts are 3" OC

Was A the early '75 and would they use the same rebuild kits as M?

note that there was a typo in my 1st response, the mounts for A and S and wide A are 3.5", these all have the pads w/ the same planform, but the S pads are thicker
