Quite honestly, I've thought of going with something easier to put together several times, but I've spent too much on those damn calipers (the German bolts AND the sacrificial Porsche rear M...

Little update. So the brakes I'm doing for the front of my 1303 are the following: I'm using Porsche 944 spindles with a "flip-it kit" to relocate the direction of the tie rod ends. Due to this,...

Thanks Wally for the great pics. That hub has a lot of potential. That said, it's looking real good with my 914 caliper on 944 rotor set up. Write up soon to follow. Turned out to be FAR easier...

The trouble with drilling into the hub in the offspaces is that's where the studs are. Is there enough room inline with the current holes to drill an M6 hole? Perhaps offset betwixt the M10 holes...

CB hubs cannot be bought separate, but the hub/rotor is not expensive compared to, say, custom made hubs. You can buy the rotors separate. They're about $50 per side, versus the hub/rotor together...

Nah, that's doable. They are getting a bit more difficult to find, but I think I have 3 sets. The difficult part is finding someone to do the machine work. Flat does that work, but he's only at it...

I suspected it wasn't the same :( They didn't even consider the Porsche rotor when they created those. The n/a 944 bolt circle is 126mm. I did know the later rotors would fit. Flat told me that...

Their source for un-drilled rotors has dried up so they needed something to offer a 5x130 pcd for the front. A lot of potential...which I don't think they realized (well, perhaps not until I...

They're about 10lbs per wheel (not sure what that is in Kg). Incredibly light. Yes, 15x5.5 with the same offset as your wheels. Only, they're made of unobtainium and incredibly expensive. If you...

It's all good. Can you please measure the bolt circle of the rotor attachment bolts? The 944 has a 126mm bolt circle.

I actually kinda got on the guy at CB who designed those hubs/rotors. I...

No, the front. It attaches the same way as the CB rotor. I've also considered getting a set of those hubs/rotors, removing the rotor and turning the hub slightly to fit inside a late 944 rotors...

Wally--

Do you have any old n/a 944 rotors handy? I've often wondered how close those hubs are to working with 20mm wide 944 rotors
