Question 944 to 73 Bay?

Is it possible to put 944 brakes onto a 1973 bay?

I was thinking that it would be possible to fit the rear suspension from an early or late 944 depending on track requirments, as a strat bolt on operation, and if not then it would be the same as doing an IRS conversion on a bug, ie repositioning the inner suspension pick up points.

At the front I was concidering on of two things, if it is easy to mod the hubs to use bus bearings then do that, if not then, use a lathe to cut out the stub axle from the bus spindle and do the same with the porsche part but make it a super tight interfearance fit, heat the bus part upand cool the porsche part with liquid nitrogen and press the two together. then I could v the rear, heat the two components and weld together. The heating should stop the casting from going even more, brittle.


Any comment? has any one done it before?

Cheers

John
