tie rod hitting sway bar?

[1303R]

here's my set up on my early 1303 converted to 944 n/a hubs, mk1 golf struts fitted with coil over conversion(2" shorter than 1303) and late 1303 control arms with adjustable track control arm conversion, also relocated inner mount because of amount of lowering.late 1303 steering rack conversion. and flip it kit fitted to convert to top mounted tie rods to eliminate hitting on anti roll bar.

wow. That's some setup.

it's not the most tech set up but it works well on my daliy lack of steering lock is an issue when parking thou. only really wanted to show the tie rod location, but thought i'd better explain the rest

very nice setup, 1303R, especially for a daily driver. i've only driven mine in and out of the garage and around a few times, so i haven't figured out how mine's going to feel yet. i can't get my stinkin' brakes to bleed correctly, so i can only go places where there's nothing to hit, haha

[1303R]

Thanks, are you using beetle or 944 master cylinder? I converted to 944 mc when i did everything else as i read on here that the beetle mc does not have enough volume to work the large n/a 944 brakes

[davetaylor]

i'm using the 944 19/23 master cylinder, and it's brand new, but it's acting like it's bad. i don't have any line leaks either and they're all brand new. it's a huge mystery that i wish i could figure it out 'cause it's no fun to drive without being able to stop!

oh. arse. well should have no problems, unless something is conected wrong way round. whoops, off topic, sorry supe . davetaylor, have a search through the brakes section, lots of very good info there
