Good knews

Good knews for you,
I just checked on Porsche PET about the bearings on the 356C and the early 944. They are the same!
If you can find a pair of 356C disk front spindles, they will bolt onto your front suspension in place of the drum spindles. The Porsche 944 hub and disk assembly will then bolt onto that. The only thing you have to sort out from there is mounting the caliper. I think the bolt spacing is different for the 356C and early 911 calipers to the 944 calipers but I don't have the info to hand.
It's a big step closer.

Oh... 944 brakes will bolt onto swing axle rear suspension. As stated above, if it's a narrow track, you will need to machine off 12-15mm from the hub where the nuts sits as the splines are shorter. Nothing major for a machine shop to take on.
