Default Rear brake caliper letters

Just got my rear calipers back from renovation and will paint them red.
Current Porsche letters looks to be painted, where can I get new ones to put on after the repaint?

I got mine from www.XenonMods.com about 4 years ago. $12.00 for 6 decals. They were applied after the red paint but before the clear coat. Have held up perfectly.

Thanks for the pointer Jim
They look a bit big, do they fit the smaller rear calipers on a 90GT?
(i think same as on the GTS in size on the rear?)

Peter, They are about 2-3mm larger than the factory letters, but they DO fit. Yes, the GTS rears are the same as the S4 and the 944T rear.

Got mine from Eagleday, do a search you will find them. I got the mid sized stencil for the GTS sized caliper, that is exactly right, you then need to come off that size to work out if you need the size smaller.

Got mine from xenon as Jim, here they are on my 993/S4 brakes that I've got on the 911.

Hey Johny, the calipers that are the F50 Calipers are the same and different to the GTS caliper. The size of the caliper is identical. However the brake pistons are bigger, much bigger and the disc goes from being 12.7'' to 14''. They are still on the boat so I don't have them yet, will post pics when they are fitted.

Cheers Greg
