I have a few pics of the initial testing of the CB Wide 5 hubs. These pics are prior to the machining that has been done. I will have pics of the finished hubs tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

-This pic is a dry fit (no grease on the bearings) of the Wide 5 hub on a late super beetle 73' and up spindle

-This pic is a rear shot of the hub...you can see the step that I mentioned above....don't mind the caliper bracket....this was just thrown on to get an idea

-This pic is a shot using an 86 944 turbo front rotor on the back of the hub...as you can see its the mating surface is a bit larger than the one on the hub

-This is a shot of the back side of the hub with the 944T rotor as a comparison of the mounting hole locations

-This is a shot using an old 944 N/A front rotor on the back of the wide 5 hub....its just a hair shy of a perfect fit.
I hope this helps anyone interested in this....if you have questions on any of this please don't hesitate to email me and I'll be more than glad to try and answer them. I'm also working on the rear set up (I've been snapping my ebrake cable) So I'm using a 944 rotor/hub....but I've switched the caliper to a 2004 Ford Cobra caliper and the caliper mounting bracket/ebrake cable to parts sold in standard A/C VW rear disc brake kits. The Cobra units have an integrated ebrake (pretty much identical to the ones sold in rear disc brake kits from CB Performance or So Cal Imports) but the Cobra caliper is meant for vented rotors. I modified the caliper bracket by adding 1/2" spacers and by counter-sinking one of the holes to mount the caliper (this was due to the mounting bolt being in the way of the ebrake cable) this is only temporary...since I will upgrade the bracket to a billet one. I've tested the ebrake with the car in motion (at the most 10mph and its stops with authority....this is also slamming it straight up...not slowly moving it). I will have pics of this setup later after I've setup the billet bracket.
