1) Use my stock drum three bolt spindles, have a little machining to the face of the spindle to clear the 944 hub and get a caliper mount machined that will bolt to two of the holes for the backing plate. Also I'll need to figure out the bearings and grease seals.
2)Get ahold of some spindles from a disc braked 1302(european) and most likely have to have a caliper mount machined to fit the 944 calipers. Also probally have to have the face machined and of course adapter bearings and grease seals. (The bearings and grease seals just need the width and OD of the 944 stuff and the ID of the VW stuff)
.
I will be starting on this project soon. So if any of you guys have insite into this matter, it would be much apreciated. Also what brand of bearings is the best? Once again sorry for biting off this thread but I believe that it is all relivent. Thanks
