Alex, it would be great if we could get more info/sales on these ball joints that I believe Kerscher is the only one who makes them. I have a set but would like an extra pair also. These are a must have for the 944 to 1303 conversion.

I would be interested if i can also source the brakes and all parts for under $700 complete(front and rear)

how much do you think the ball joints would be if there was a group buy?
And also, why do you need the ball joints for this mod? is there a article on the adaption of 944 brakes to a 1303? will a full explanation of how and why things need to be done?.... You can never know to much, and you must try, or you will only wonder why

I will look into it if we can get more people interested.

I will call Kerscher and see what they can offer.

I'll need a pair of these ball joints. How much do they cost anyway? Any idea how much they'd cost in a group buy situation?

I talked to Kerscher today and they would help us with a group deal.

They are listed for 47 Euros.
They could not tell me on how much it would be cheaper yet and I do not have any details but I am hoping that this would work out similar to the Cup brace deal.

So I need a list on who is interested so I can talk to Kerscher on how many would buy a set.

Thanks,

So far there are 5 names:
Superman
Super VW
Trevor Brady
RandyJ
KäferCup

Alex, (or any one) can you direct me to a page that tells you EXACTLY what i would need to do a 944 brake swap on a 1303 super beetle? I am still interested in the ball joints if we all can get them for a resonable price and if i can figure out what i need to do this brake swap.

Thanks Alex

Jonathan

Kerscher wants me to handle everything......even payment.
I really do not want to do that. They told me once that is all setup they will give me a price depending on how many are interested in them.

From my end it is a no go.....because I do not want to get involved the money part.
Maybe someone else would like to handle this group buy.

bit of a "chicken and egg" scenario: collect the money from those interested, and when you have it, they'll give you the price... How much are you supposed to collect in the first place?

Silly...

Looks more like they want to see how many are going to buy, then a GL member (or not) deals with collecting that money and sending it to Kerscher?

Becuase i dont see how collecting money first would even be an option... thats so dumb.

They give me the price once I tell them on how many people are interested. Then I would have to collect the money and send it to them. They will ship out the parts.
