What do I need to do the conversion?
I have a 1973 1303 Superbeetle. The one with the curvy windscreen. The suspension is the three bolt fitting type, and I am running Kerscher narrow front suspension and kerscher/koni rear dampers.
I want to upgrade my braking to units from a porsche, preferably front AND rear. So what parts do I need, from what model and year(s) of porsche? Lucky thing is I have a friendly porsche garage just down the road (5 mins walk!), he's independant (not a dealership) but gets tons of good bits in/passing through. So I should be able to source whats needed  Cheers for the help, Sam Catchesides, Bristol, UK

I paid £400 (Sterling) for the pair. Similar price as a pair of cheap recaro's Wont get anymore at that price!& cheers for the info, didnt think of looking on performance Ghia. The engine and gearbox in my bug used to belong to Mike Ghia, so I am familiar with his work Cya, Sam C
