Which caliper is this one?

[1ricardo]

Dear Friends

I´m rebuilding this 1976 911 coupe that i recently purchase, and I need help to try to figure out what type of calipers do I have, so i can buy the correct repair kit
I was looking at the Pelican and there is lot of options and models
1-) Caliper with Brake Disc Wobble Compensation
2-) Caliper without Brake Disc Wobble Compensation
3-) "M" Calipers
4-) "S" Calipers
5-) "A" Calipers
6-) With vented brake disc

Does any body knows what kind of system I have?

Thanks

76 should be an M. Google PMB performance breaks.
They restored mine. Great company.

Front is A, rear is M

Front looks like an aluminum S to me. Rear appears to be the usual M.
Green shocks say Bilstein struts. Same set up as mine from the factory.
Even though the S is a more valuable part, the later SC A caliper stops better and is a direct bolt on with the S type strut mounts. I was able to trade my worn out S calipers for ready to go A's from PMB. If a magnet won't stick to it, it's probably an S.
Front Suspension re-build
Rear Suspension Re-build

My OEM S fronts looked like this:

S is a one piece aluminum caliper, A is a multipiece bolted up iron caliper

Both use the same 3.5" mounts and 20mm rotors

Definitely an A front caliper.

Ah yes, too tired last night. Yes, iron unit. Still, Bilstein struts = excellent set up.
