944 spindles on ball joint VW beam?



So will these enable the 944 spindles to bolt right up to a VW ball joint beam?

I have an early set of 944 spindles sitting around that I would prefer using over the CB spindles. As I am not going for a big drop anyway, and I think the 944 spindles build in like a 1-1.5" drop over the Beetle spindles.

I am running blind here, so feel free to beat me in the head if this is crazy talk... Also I do not understand German (at least tech stuff) so I am doubly blind here :silly:

Thanks,

Basically then no adapters will be needed at all!

Hello Pillow!

Actually these are ball-joints for +7/73 supers to install porsche spindles w/o ball joints spacers.

Sorry.

Are there any spoindles that will drop up you 1.5 inches? I would rather not have a 2.5 drop.

Hey, Jim,
You wrote of ball joint spacers. Are these a bushing around the ball joint ball stud that makes up the 3mm difference between the 1303 ball stud, and the 944 spindle? If so, do you know how well this works?
