hey all, i have a set of 197~ 914 rear calipers on my ghia.. i have gone to a local import place (has lotsa vw stuff) twice for replacement pads each set hasn't fit. now that i have the car apart i can take a pad in to see if i can match it but i was wondering if you peeps knew of a way of telling the year.
any slight differences in physical apperance? or where to look up the part number (didn't see much in the way of numbers on them though)... any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
seth

ahh.. i just figured replacment pads would fit... they are also really fat and won't back off enough to even get both in let alone fit a rotor fit inbetween.. but i guess that's caliper tuning and not pads... . i need to find a book or something that tells how to adjust them.. before i tore this car down they would lock up overnight with the e-brake on.. made getting to class in the morning quite a hassle...
but thanks for your help guys. i'l hunt aroud for some 914caliper guids
