Rear brakes.

[lamarque912]

Help!
Can't seem to find rear brakes for my 3 gauge 66' 912.
I've ordered brakes from local auto shops, all say they fit front and rear. I asked each store to locate rear only. Every time, I get the package.. there all the same size. 2.43 or 61.7mm.

Waiting on an order from pelican. Saw that others are having similar issues.
Hopefully these will fit. If not. May have to update rear calipers.
Would front calipers bolt to the rear?

Just received brake pads from pelican. I ordered rear. ATE for 65-69... what I got are front for 72-74 914 and marked as front brakes. I guess I'll return them Monday another wasted weekend.
Take care guys.

I'll check out the 912registry...

Here are measurement sheets from Centric pads for 912(front on top followed by rear)




Hope this helps. As you've probably found out, these pads are not Porsche specific and are used as fronts and/or rears of everything from Alfas to Opels so don't depend on the box labeling.

to add.. left rear pads are more worn than the front pads and the right rear pads..
could there be an issue with the calipers..
