    Are the 308 front calipers spacer 7 mm or 9mm?

    Well the diameter is closer to probably 15mm and the thickness is less than 1mm. So not sure what you are asking. Typically more than 1 spacer per caliper bolt is used to line up with the rotor.

    I'm pretty sure the center spacer should be 9 mm. My front calipers are at pmb for restoration and they said my spacers are 7mm.bon my 75 308 gt4 Does 2mm make any difference with all the piston travel?

    Yes thx. What I thought. The gt4 is a early car maybe 7mm spacer? With the 9mm the piston would get m extra travel? Just got off the phone with them and was told they are early calipers and original early seals. Ferraris wth

    Unfortunately Eric does not do all of the work himself. I just sent my front calipers out and when they came back I had flow problems with brake fluid through some of the holes. I blew them out with brake cleaner and grease came out of them. Good thing I check them before I put them on the car. Just saying.
