    67 911S Guys... Show off your Front Calipers!

    Hi Gang,

    I'm trying to help a customer. I've seen a couple of caliper variations on the front of 67S cars. I'm wondering if some of these came from replacements (we see this on later S cars, some have one of each style S-Caliper).

    Some I've seen have the sculptured calipers with "wings" for a lack of better term. These are usually found as solid rotor calipers on 65-66 cars but...

    Some look more like a standard M-Caliper (as seen in my Early S-Caliper Rebuild thread).

    Here's the two side by side so you can hopefully see what I'm talking about.

    What do you have?

    Eric,

    In case Ol' Ivory's calipers have arrived, according to the COA it was "born" Sept. 12, 1966.

    I have no problem with the theory that all men are created equal.
    But after that moment you are on your own and nobody owes you a damn thing.

    Ol" Ivory's shoes made it here last night. Just opened up the box (everything made it fine) and based upon what I'm seeing in Mark's photos I'd say it's a hybrid.

    The fin is thinner like the 65/66 calipers but has the angle cut into it like the later m-caliper.

    Mark, I want to get you black zinc fasteners. Do you want to swap them out or do you want me to do it here?
