Are the 7 inch Cooper calipers all the same?
Early Coopers had a small pad and latter ones a larger pad, so presumably the calipers were different.

I believe the 997 7-inch calipers had a different pad than 998s. I have read the 997s can be machined to accept the larger pad. I can only locate one of my 998 drive flanges. While I have yet to try it, I'm thinking about setting up a set of 8.4 drive flanges with cut down 8,4 discs thinned to 5/16, skim the pads a bit and see what I have. Steve (CTR)
