Oh, I really do feel if front or rear locks up first, very clearly. It happens sometimes on an emergency brake situation or if you simulate one.
You really should feel it!
My advise would be to...

To answer that, I took a few pix for you. In short: yes, I think there is enough meat and room for additional M6 studs ;)
In fact, the CB whole hub is dimentionally very close to the early 944 hub....

Hmm, there is plenty 'meat' to drill a wider pattern I think. Seems pretty solid, but the disk is still on it. I'll look sometime coming days to get you more info ;)

Ah, yeah, I saw a 356 outlaw or some custom coach one with these back then. That is also where I got the idea to use these. I had one set welded +1,5" for the rear only for drag racing a few years...

Is it that difficult to find 944 n/a hubs then? I thought they just needed two (or even just one?) adapter sleeves for the bearings to fit the beetle spindles? 944 is alu too and the CB hubs can't be...

Interesting indeed.
I just measured it, but was difficult to do. I needed to sort-of eye-ball it a bit, but I think its about 112-113mm bolt spacing. What is the 944 n/a ?

They are big bolts...

Interesting!
I think all porsche rotors (except the 914 rears) are vented and they wanted something for the type 1 market?

I'll try to measure the bolt spacing ;-)

Ah! Now I see why you said used n/a rotor :rolleyes:
But euh...no, sorry. Due to me trying to minimize parts hoarding a bit, I brought all old rusty rotors to the dump.. sorry.

Hi John,

Very true indeed: stock front disks and 944 n/a rears on stock MC is what gave me rock hard pedal and awesome brake balance!
In fact, liked that so much that for my 'daily driver'...

WTIW, I think you're right. I 'feel' (pun intended) the size of the bore of the master cylinder is mainly meant to match the total size of the caliper pistons, so pedal travel remains acceptable.

I still had too much front bias, Weird, but true for me.
The 944 23/19 MC gave a VERY high and super hard pedal, but too little braking force imo.
The 19/19 stock MC gave a little less pedal effort...

I have had the 23/19 944 MC on the car for a year or two now and have just changed it out to an original bug 19/19mm MC.
Will let you all know how it works out ;)

Yes, that is weird.
Weirder is that my early 944 M/C has 23 cast in into the M/C housing for front and 19 cast in for the rear. This would 'suggest' a 'perfect' 23,00 mm and a exact 19,00 mm. ...

Be sure to be accurate with your calculation since AFAIK, 23/20 944 MC doesn't exist. In europe all I've come across is 23/19...

Also my 944 rear isn't 36mm, but 38mm IIRC :confused:

AKAIK, the two pistons in a 4-pot caliper are never the same diameter, so you must simply add the two of them. Surface is surface after all.

Yes, I did: that is now a whopping 1.92 F/R ratio !!
As said before, this does explain my current enormous front bias. I hardly wear off the light rust on the rear disk!

Greets,
