FS: "Versuch" 908 Caliper Recreations

[Neunelfer]

We are now in production on the "Versuch" (experimental) 908 caliper.

The Versuch 908 caliper was one of the earliest 908 calipers we know of. It retains the previous quick change pad mechanism from the Porsche Type 910 race car.

The goal was to create a physical match of this rare caliper and to that end, we have succeeded. These would be an excellent caliper choice for vintage cars of the period (914-6/GT cars, 911ST and TR cars) who's vintage calipers are long gone (happens a lot) and for those that just want a unique caliper on their hot-rod or otherwise.

The Early S-Caliper was built off the 908 casting. In that regard, they are virtually identical. Following are the details of these calipers:

The V-Coded (Versuch) Experiment Caliper:

• Basic 908/Early S-Caliper Casting
• Clear Anodized Aluminum Alloy
• Top Shaved by 3mm
• 910 Endurance Pin Mechanism in Place
• No Knockback Pins or Mechanism in the Pistons
• These were not cut for Deeper Pads
• There is no notch for the compensating line making removal and installation difficult.

The PMB "Versuch" 908 Caliper:

• Early S-Caliper Casting
• Clear Anodized Aluminum Alloy
• Top Shaved by 3mm
• 910 Endurance Pin Mechanism in Place
• No Knockback Mechanism in the Pistons
• Not cut for Deeper Pads
• There will be a stock notch for the compensating line making removal and installation easier. These notches showed up on later 908 calipers as well.
• New Stainless Steel pistons.
• New Stainless Steel compensating lines.

Pricing:

These calipers have been put on a CAD mill and were meticulously machined to match the actual "Versuch" 908 caliper. They have been de-anodized, polished and reanodized for years of protection. All of the fasteners are new and freshly plated. Pistons are new stainless steel versions.

Machine Work Only - The cost for the machining to "your" early S-Caliper would be $600.00. You may then want to opt for a full restoration which would involve de-anodizing the original finish, polishing the caliper and re-anodizing. This would be extra as would the pistons and the lines. Again, this would be machine work only on your calipers. It would include the 910 pin mechanism.

Complete "Versuch" 908 Caliper - The cost for a complete bolt on set of calipers is $1,595.00

These look beautiful ......nice job !

Any real world road tests yet ?

Thanks!

As far as tests, I would imagine basic s-caliper performance. The first set went to an IMSA GT project which won't be on the road for a while, #2 went to a 914-6/GT project.

You could be the first!
