Oldskl60 Posted 21November, 2019 Report Share Posted 21November, 2019 Hi All I have these restored 3inch spaced Brembo calipers available for sale. They have been vapour blasted and clear re-annodised (so they stay beautiful), genuine hardware replated, inner of pistons heat coated, all new rubber seals, pistons indexed etc - full deal. I went with clear anodising as I preferred the silver look ie so they look more like original Porsche calipers (they are usually black) and think they look great. These are genuine versions of the highly recommended upgrade by Porsche brake specialist PMB, see link for the list of benefits! https://m.pmbperformance.com/catalog/item/8778645/6862358.htm $800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 21November, 2019 Report Share Posted 21November, 2019 Absolute bargain and a worthy upgrade for early cars. Oldskl60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT Posted 21November, 2019 Report Share Posted 21November, 2019 They’re very sexy. How do they compare to SC brakes on a ‘73? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding from the glowing PMB report is that they are lighter with a greater pad area and better piston design. If your 73 has 3 inch spacing (caliper mounting hole centre to centre) like the early Boge or Koni these are ideal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 21November, 2019 Report Share Posted 21November, 2019 My understanding (what I have been told) is that the 3” mount spacing was only on the 2.7 engined series cars. Everything before and after was 3.5”. Why? 🤷♂️ So if you are after an upgrade without having to swap struts, this sounds like a good way to go. MFX? Notice I didn’t say “swap out” like damn yank speak. No affiliation with the seller, just thought I would put my 2 bobs worth in.

Peter M Posted 21November, 2019 Report Share Posted 21November, 2019 The PMB link Oldskl60 provided is a fantastic resource and has more on Porsche brakes than any sane person would want to know. It has all the answers on possible fitments. OZ930 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? 🤷♂️ My experience regarding early cars is different to this understanding but agree that these are a cost effective and hassle free upgrade. 3.5 inch struts are getting thin on the ground and not cheap plus the cost of the actual caliper... Re early cars, I understand that 3.5 inch spacing struts are 'the exception', with the 'rule of thumb' being that they were only supplied on 911S models. 912, 911T and the majority of 911E were supplied with 3 inch spaced struts. Thankfully as Peter M suggests, the details for fitment and recommendations etc are all on the PMB site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have read the link a bit more thoroughly rather than skimming, but all good, live and learn. Oldskl60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
