I hate all of you guys! :P

HHM Im watching this with interest as im taking my bug of the road to re build the cogbox and motor....while im doing that i thought id chuck my ally arms on (i have the early units)
So hearing a few of you have problems is interesting i hope there is a fix, im going to hold of installing until you guys have found the way.

I welded my type3 irs brackets on so i hope i have them in the correct place, tracking seem fine with the 944 metal rear arms.

Did the MarcoMansi rear bolts work for you

turbonutta are you the fella from chesham? if so was your bug up sale last year?

Spoke to marco and he is out of stock at the moment but will let me know when he has some more made.

Indeed i am, I PM'd you once!, you still in the chesham?.

Sell my what....never..had her since i was 16.

Ok i will need a set to then any idea on timeline for those

i thought so! sorry - ive got a bad memory....

i live over in hertfordshire now (welwyn garden city) but still visit my parents regularly in chesham! would be good to meet you and your bug!

i swear i saw your bug for sale .... must have been a similar one!

no idea on timeline - i asked him if he would have a batch done before le bug show - Spa in august but he just said he;d let me know. I really want to sort this problem before i put lots of miles on the bug though!

Dean, Marco is about 5 mins up the road from me. If you are going to pop down let me know when and we can grab some time :)

Al - Definately! You going to Volksworld?

It really is a small world - turns out Turbonutta live 3 roads down from my parents :lmao: i lived there for 10 years!!!!!

Still as usual undecided! I really should trek out to the Ace sometime but now that I'm with polo it takes the fun out a little!

I come on here to read about brakes and find you lot talking about Chesham!

My grandparents used to live on Manor Way. Used to to love that house, found out a few years back a developer bought it, knocked it down and built two houses in its place :-(

:lmao: small world MR BIG didnt you buy the rear brakes of me when i was in wycombe...:rolleyes:

Any way back to the thread i received all my 944 early subframe today:D so im going to start the swap of my 944 metal arms...i didnt realise that i now need some longer drive shafts:angry:

Have all you guys who have done this added a shim/shims or large washers behind the springplate in front of the knobbly bush in the chassis to allow the 944 plate hardware to clear.

Also in the four early arms i have they are all missing the lower shock mount/bolt is this normal..

Mr Mansi still has no stock off the irs adjusta bolts i will ask my mate with a machine shop if he can knock me some up out of stainles stock any body else need some..!?

It's a very small world, i own LBH 165H - mr bbig owns LBH 166H !!!!!

high tensile might be better for the adjuster bolts mate...but put me down for a set.

Very possibly? Where did you live? Or what was your real name? :) I did live in Wycombe for 18 years!!

If you ever fancy selling the reg plate matey you know who to call ;)

My bugs in a million bits now....im trial fitting my ally arms, i have removed the wings, all the metal arms etc.

im looking to make a sleeve in delrin to slip in a urathane bush and hold the spring plate off by 6mm ish as i have read others have used spacers to get past the large bolt head on the spring plate (is welding it an option i thought it a bad idea on a spring plate?)
its hard to tell if the toe is an issue, i have taken a bit off the rear springplate bolt holes to allow me to slide the arm forward more if needed.

i dont seem to have the springplate flex either and im considering spacing the 944 cover off 6mm also. i had one large washer inboard on the alloy arm

i didnt even think of handbrake cables.....i presumed my ones would fit, silly me when will i learn.doh another issue, i had the existing ones made up so i guess i will have to get some more..
