Why not just use a 911 MC?

Mike Ghia did that on his oval and from what I remember worked out quite well. That is what I would do for a Beetle with all discs.

On my '66 splittie I am running a 944 MC (ATE one - not Girling) with 944 single pots all around. So far the braking has been excellent... But of course a bus is much different than a Beetle weight wise.

Also you can get the "self bleeder" screws if you end up doing the brakes alone a lot. Kind of rich at about $10 each but well worth it if you end up playing with the brakes a lot.

Good Luck,
