That was my second thought Steve ;)
Its just that I have noticed that when fully loaded with family and luggage (i.e. dog) and traveling at speed, braking to a full stop does suffer, which is mainly due to the front brakes (they look just like the orginal cast iron ones, but are only one size bigger) with the non-vented disk. Therefore I still hope to come up with a solution to mount a nice alu Brembo to the front. Problem there is the spindle, its different from a type 1 so a 944 adapter bearing is maybe not possible...but let me worry 'bout that for a while ;) |
Wally,
Why not fit the 944 struts c/w discs, the early ones are a straight replacement and even have the speedo cable hole? evilC |
Not a straight replacement on a 412

Lanner, if you could make me something, I would definately be up for it, spindle/hub wise or caster adjustment ;) You know the top strut bearings are the same in my 412 as in my late 1303 beetle and I need the extra caster on both. So an adjustable caster top bearing plate is still on top of my list. Caster I have now is between 1 and 2 degrees and needs to to 6-8 or so for optimum straight line high speed stability. I already have the Topline caster+ sway-bar bushings, but its not enough. Mayby because of my M030 front spindles but I dunno. Untill I have some top strut caster-adjustment parts, I don't dare go any faster than 120 mph or so.... The lowered 412 has the same problem. So two sets of these could make this all a happy world :rolleyes: Well, you can't blame a guy for trying right? (I know you have other engagements ;) ) Thanks, Walter |

No worries, I'm on the project. But I'm in the process of moving and then off for almost a month. So it'll be into the new year before I have anything concrete to show. Also, not sure if I can get that much adjustment out of them. Will have to get out the slide rule and figure it out :-P. Are your cars sleeping for the winter? In the interim, I could probably come up with a static upper mount with spherical bearing. No adjustment, but fixed at a certain positive caster. Quick, dirty (and probably cheap). You can guinea pig them for me :) Lanner |
