Brake identification/question

Hello all,

I have been considering upgrading the brakes on my 70 911 and have been keeping an eye out for calipers. I came across these through someone I purchased some other parts from. They "think" they are early S calipers, but they look a little unusual compared to what I've seen elsewhere. Being new to this and out of my depth, I thought this would be a good forum to ask.

Anyone know anything about these?

I should add that even if someone tells me they've been doing this a long time and have never seen brakes like this, it would be helpful. Would suggest they are for some other car make...

Thanks!

Looks like 356 or really, really early 911 calipers. Later calipers don't have those ribs.

Eric Shea at PMB Performance is the guy to call though.

Shop PMB - Catalog

He knows everything about early brakes.

Thank you, that is really helpful...now that I see them the ridges do look a bit like the very early ones or for 356's
