Hello,

Well, I've done my best, hope it helps.

Conversion VW Beetle brakediscs to Porsche 944 brakediscs Part 1

Big picture: Porsche 944 hub
Double striped/shaded (don't know the correct term)parts will have to be machined

Photo 1:
Left: Porsche 944 hub after being machined.
Right: Original 944 Porsche hub before machining.


Small picture:
Conversion-sleeve to use the original VW bearing.

Photo 2:
Make two cut-outs into the narrow part of the sleeve before pressing the sleeve into the hub. This will enable you to remove the bearing whenever needed.


Cheers,
Richard

Hello,

Sorry, forgot to translate that part.
Material thickness of the bracket is 10.5mm +/- 0.05mm.

Have a go at it and let us know/see when your done!

Hello,

Just use the original VW grease seal.
What do you mean with Performance Ghia's bearing spacers and bracket?
The only place where there is a bearing spacer is in the rear.

Cheers,
Richard

Just to give you guys a heads up:

The 34.5mm dimension in the caliper bracket is a little tight. There is a potential for the caliper rubbing on the outer diameter of the rotor. Kick it up 2mm or so.

Easy,
Lanner
