1968 911 L rear caliper rebuild question.

[TOO RUF]

Does anyone know what rear calipers are on a 68L? They look like 912 rear calipers with a spacer for vented rotors. The pistons are 38mm. I tried ate part# 13.0441-3502.2 but the inner seal broke upon installation. So either I made a mistake installing or they are the wrong pieces. I just did the front brakes with no problem. Any ideas would help.

Thanks

Call Eric Shea at PMB Performance. You have wide L calipers on the rears on the 68L.
As you said they are 38mm for vented rotors unlike the regular L calipers which were
35mm for solid rotors IIRC.

I didn't see kits on the site. Do they sell kits only?

You may have to call. I'm certain I got kits for my wide-L rears from
Eric some time back.

what about rear rotors, are they the same as the 67S?

Search over on the 911S forums, there is all the info you will ever need on the '68L and S brakes.

Vented rears are pricey, so be ready. Look up the rear rotor upgrade/mod that can be done using 944 rotors. This is the route I took on my '68 912 chassis to get a little more braking in the rear and to have better parts availability down the road...

Who do the maching to turn the 944 rotors in to early S Vented ones?

Look at my signature, you will see rear caliper, easy to rebuild...

almost got rear-ended another day, driver thought that 1968 will need a mile to brake... ha-ha-ha...
