Which 944 M/c

[steven erwin]

undefinedI'M RUNNING 83 944 CALIPERS ON MY 74 BEETLE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO STORE TO GET A 944 M/C. THERE WERE 2 PART #S, ONE FOR $50 AND THE OTHER FOR $150. SHOULD THERE BE 2 PART #S FOR THE M/C AND DOES IT MATTER WHICH ONE IS USED?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

So i have another question.... Is the 944 MC the one to use with a early 944 brake upgrade (single/slide piston calipers all around) without having a spongy pedal or having one to hard AND having the correct brake bias?

So far i have heard, 944, 911 and stock 1303 super beetle MC???? whats the best one to use?

Thanks

I'm no brake expert but I would think that the piston size in the 911 master cylinder would better complement a rear engined car than the 94 unit. Then again using the 944 brakes could change the characteristics of the 911 master cylinder.

I converted to 944 NA (single pot) brakes on my 1303. I originally tried the 1303 MC since it was already hooked up and would not require any extra work to try. I did not like how far I had to press the pedal to get the brakes to engage. Then after researching this more on this forum, I saw that others had the same issue with the 1303 MC and that the 944 MC was recommended with the 944 NA brakes. Thinking about it, using the same MC that was made for the brakes made sense to me. I installed it and couldn't be happier with the results.
