944 install on swingaxle -- DONE.........

[seanmc]

Looks great! Nice work there.

I have a 1976 Swingaxle beetle and am wondering if the same machining dimensions apply to it at the rear?

I am mid-upgrade with the front 944 brakes all round as currently I only have the fronts on my workbench but having found a complete smashed up non-turbo 944 in a scrapyard I can get the rears quite easily (got there first!) its just a matter of making them fit. Not sure of the year though of the 944 but does it make a difference on the rears?

Any advice would be great

I'm not sure about the non-turbo machining.

Right now I'm not completely happy with the sealing of the rear (at the backing plate to axle flange (where I had to take the 74 thou. off). I'm getting some seepage there that is bothering me.
MBT makes a set of backing plates that use the stock type1 paper gaskets etc. to stop this seeping...but I have'nt been able to get ahold of MBT for about a month now.
