My driver's side rear brake caliper is defective. It is the old type (as shown in the picture above). It seems that the piston is stuck. Is there a source for a rebuilt one or has someone restored his and could give me some advice, please?

Thanks in advance...

P.S. It is the "old" brake system which was installed up to chassis #43011. The pads for it can be seen here:

part no. 108134

 

John at Goldline brakes can rebuild that for you. He is spot on and has a great turn around. Look up Gold Line Brakes in Seattle Washington.. Give John a call, send him your caliper and he will take care of the rest. Very reasonable as well.

Thanks Robbie.

I will look closer to my neighbourhood (Montreal, Canada) first and if that fails, I will certainly contact John.

Same Caliper on the old system as a porsche 914 just has a spacer installed to widen the caliper. Look up rebuilding porsche 914 rear calipers on the internet for parts and instructions.

Your brake caliper for the rear is the same as 1999 Kia Sephia front caliper and pad. - local parts store should have all parts you would ever need including hardware and for cheap cheap cheap.

I am running the pads on my 87 3.2 Coupe I know this is correct not a guess and yes you can get them in better compounds than most kia buyers might buy.

I guess it would be too nice that the disk also fits the Mondial?

Joe, does this caliper match the 85 QV Cab as well for the rears? Thanks.

 

Great info Joe, thank you very much! I will definitely look into this.'

Joe & Walter,

I believe the Old Ferrari Euro (like I pictured above), ATE calipers were on the 914-6 only. And, on the front.

They are also made of Aluminum, better then our Iron units, less sprung weight on the rear A arms. But, the bleed screws need to be relocated.
I have been searching for a set.

I have owned 14, 914's and currently have a 914-6 - The alum calipers were only on the Early "S" 911's as an option - never on the 914. The 308 and the 914 share the same rear caliper ie the Hand Brake arm, The only diff is a spacer between the 2 halfs to widen the caliper.

I know my Porsche's very well, The 914 and 911 rear calipers are nothing alike, The 911 has a handbrake asym inside the rear disk that acts like a drum brake.
