    Mystery caliper

    Can anyone identify these rear break calipers? They were installed in my -65.

    Calling Eric...

    They've got the ribs so If I understand correctly they are the earlier 356 style L caliper.

    They are the correct calipers for your car. Actually, they are 356C rear calipers that were used on the very first 911s.

    Regards

    Jim
    PS: The yellow calipers in the box are from a bit later 911 and will interchange with the ribbed ones just fine. They both have exactly the same internals.

    The initial picture is amazing. Are those mussels hanging on to the pistons?
