<x-charset iso-8859-1>I'm sure someone out there has but I can't think of any particular examples. I'm hoping to do this conversion (944) on my Type3 sometime in the future. The T1 and T3 spindle is the same so the work should be the same for both. Depending on whether you go for VW or Porsche bearings on the front spindles you should be able to get the spacers/adapters from a company called Machine7 (based in the UK). One of Keith Suemes books (Beetle Performance Handbook) has a template for fitting 944 calipers to a Type 1 spindle, this can easily be adapted for a Type 3. You may have seen these pages and they are aimed at T1's but it gives a good overview of the various Porsche brake conversions: http://community-2.webtv.net/vw911/Porsche2VWBrakes/index.html Hope this helps. cheers, Dan '73 Fastback ---- -----Original Message----- From: Todd [mailto:genericacct@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 5:30 PM Subject: [T3] Porsche front brakes? Here's one for the darksiders: has anyone put Porsche 924 or 944 front disc brakes on a type 3? I know people have put them on type 1's using CB Performance spindles, but I heard the caliper (and perhaps the rotor) might fit on a type 3, due in part to the type 4 heritage of the 924. Anyone with experience doing this swap? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
