928 brake conversion?
 

my friend has a 1985 928 all it needs is a fuel system. thats all i know. i wanted to find out if i can put them on my bug? right now i have a 75 standerd bug( doin the hot rod look but this german look is sweet and might re-do my 75 or get a super)

Some of the 928 brake componets (discs, calipers, hubs) are the same as the 944 and can be used. You'll need some 944 (caliper mount) parts for the rear.

so i would need to cross referance part numbers to see or are u telling me that year would work but i would need the caliper mounts?

Superman, any idea which ones are interchangeable. I have been trying to source 944 turbo hubs here in Australia, and they are impossible to find.

I have a friend who breaks 928's and has several front/rear axles including everything for various year 928's. do you think a hub off a 928 could be used?

Thanks

My only experience with 928 parts are in the books, meaning that I have never actually had the parts in my hands to compare them. However, I have knowledge that the 928 and 944 used the same brakes (not the spindles but the hubs/rotors/calipers). What I see from the part numbers listed in the Porsche book is that they will interchange.

Thanks Superman I will photograph some of the parts when I go over there and put up in a new post.

Not sure if I want to use the parts of this S4 here in Australia, as I think its cursed. Literally wrapped around a telegraph pole I think!

Damn...that must of hurt.

The brakes from the S4 were also used on the late 944 Turbo S (952).
