type 3 & porsche brakes ???

I have a late model type 3 front end (73 front beam in a '68) i have early 944 NA brakes taht i want to install. The type 3s have different sized spindles than their early, and type 1 bretheren. Also the late type 3 have the correct bolt spacing for teh calipers.

I know the "usual" way is to modify the hub to accept T1 bearings, But i don't want to move the hubs any closer to teh center. I was wondering if i could get sleaves to install on my spindles and use the porsche bearings.


ALSO: the bolt spacing for teh calipes is right, but it makes teh caliper mount too high above teh rotor. i was wondering if i should get adapters , or just remove teh existing mounts and re-mount so teh calipers sit at teh correct height.
