Ok so here are the questions...

- as you see in the swing plate pics, im pointing to the cover... do you just cut this off to the shape of the stock cover and use this, and then use the 944 swing arms/ plates? i want to use the 944 swing plates becuase i think they are adjustable? or am i mistaken?

-for the sway bars, i just weld on mounts the to beetle tube?

- Drive shafts, i would like to use the 944 units, but i notice they are a little shorter than the stock beetle ones, and have a much larger CV joint what output flanges do i use to mount to a 1303 trans? and will the length be a factor?

-for the front brakes, all i need is the Kerscher ball joints... and what do i do about the tie-rod ends? the 944 spindles have the taper mount on the bottom and the beetle has them on the top. when i test fit it on the bottom i hit the sway bar at full extention with the tie-rod.

Im sure i missed a question as its late...but thats what i can think of now.

Anyways, i plan on doing a rebuild (seals and such) for all four calipers if they look alright on the inside. aswell as clean everthing up and paint the calpers RED and the spindles silver and the other parts black or silver.

Thanks
Jonathan
