Wierd.......I got two emails from him yesterday...

lannerengineering@yahoo.com

Never bought tie rods from him - but I have bought a butt ton of brake parts/conversions from him. Good quality - good communication.

Hi just realized the email address on his website differs from the one you just gave me.Thanks again looking forward to his reply.

Lanner is a very good guy to deal with. His parts are top notch. You will not have any problems dealing with him. I have a few of his items...tie rods are next!

Hi thanks for that lads ordered them last night :):):)

Lanner is a great guy to deal with.. Good communication and accommodating to my needs and silly questions. Ordered a pair of custom front hubs, front caliper mounts and 944 Ebrake adapters.. Couldn't be happier:)
Only wished that I had went for his Kafer brace 5-bar..
Then I wouldn't be still waiting for my 5 bar to arrive from another manufacturer 9 months down the road..

im trying to order some parts as we speak..............graham hows your new shiny steering rods

Hi turbonutta just seen ya post I didnt go for Lanners rods in the end the taxes and post put me off.He was great with it though and sent me my money back I would of defo had them if the post wasnt as much.

Oh...im paying 47 canadian dollars for surface delivery which isnt to bad apart from the time it may take 6 to 8 weeks:eek:

i found the ordering proccess and emails a lengthy experiance!!

but im sure the quality of the parts will make up for that....

everybody seems to give lanner the thumbs up so thats why i went to him

i got my steering rods and handbrake swans....very nice

i had a few bits missing on delivery but i was happy that Lanner posted them out to me

all in all i would recomend Lanner just word your emails with care........!

yeah, he is a sensitive dude! :lmao:

Great parts, and a awesome guy.

I also bought Porsche brake conversion parts from him and I am very satisfied with them.

Hi

I bought some heavy duty tie rods from him, exceptional quality, makes you wonder how we cope with the stock ones, they seem so flimsy in comparison.

He is coming back up to speed now. Not machining yet. But will be soon. Contact him to let him know what you need.

Im still around. And still operating to some capacity, doing almost everything except hub machining right now but am trying to get that going again.

What can I say, last couple years have been interesting. The usual life events to keep me busy (move cross country 3600kms, settling into new home, kids etc) coupled with some more serious health issues for myself (back grr) and family (dreaded c-word) has left little time for my glorified hobby business. I like providing interesting products for these old dubs, and will continue to exercise some ideas. It's a 'side' business so I'm just trying to make more time on the side.

My ambitions far exceed my capabilites :)

Good news man!
BTW, I can relate on the 'usual life issues' as well... ;-)

Cool deal man! Life can change a lot of things! Glad you're doing ok even further up north than you were before :D

Hello there, I just sent an email to the address from the vdubengineering website as well, but I was wondering if Lanner is still opporating. If not, any idea where I can get the parts machined for an early 944NA brake set up onto a BJ spindles?

He's still around, and will probably see this. Lanner's main issue is time. He does the VdubEngineering stuff on the side. I think he USED to have more time devoted to Vdub-ing, but he's moved to the other side of Canada and life got in the way. If it were up to him, he'd do VW modding full time, but he's got to support his family.

Although he would still do the 944 hub mod, he's come up with a better method of getting Porsche brakes on a Beetle spindle.

Good to hear! I actualy managed to get in contact with him at the end of last week. As for a better way of getting porsche brakes on a beetle spindle, got a link to where I can read up? I didnt see any other options on his website at least

Check out Franklinsvwwerks.com
I ended up going with their setup for my Ghia.

maybe im just not understanding their site, but that doesnt seem to be what I want. As far as I can tell they just have full front brake kits, not conversion kits to use parts you already have (namely the rotors and calipers)

Contact Frank. I had the hubs, rotors and calipers already. They made what I had work for my car.
