Hello,

I've got a 72 type 3 and i want 944 n/t disc's all around. I have read that the rear is bolt on, but am somewhat confused by the e-brake setup.... it's an internal shoe style setup?

As for the fronts, I understand that I would need bearing adapters and machine work to the 944 hubs to make them bolt up... Anybody want to give me a good source or better yet make me some adapters? machine shops here cant do it if its not related to a chevy 350. Also, anyone have SIMPLE plans for the caliper mounts both front and rear? I have some fabrication skills, and am fairly sure i could make the brackets as long as their not amazingly intricate.
My t-3 has disc's upfront already, but i'm guessing it doesn't match up.......

Thanks in advance,

Jay

For the rear 85.5 and older 944 rear suspension bolts on. 85.5 and newer rear suspension takes a little more work to bolt up. Search the forums for the information. It might take a little while but its all there, somewhere. ;)

Shad Laws did the same conversion to his old fasty and posted about the conversion, from what I remember it seamed very simple. Use the search function.
