My advice... don't even think about it!
The heat from welding will seriously weaken the cast material making it extremely dangerous! I was strongly advised not to go that route.
Having bearing spacers made or machining the hubs is really quite easy. Take your beetle spindles and 944 spindles together with bearings, seals, hubs etc. and have a decent machinist do the job for you. Both methods achieve the desired results but if you have the hubs machined check that they are clocked up properly in the lathe. Far simpler, far safer and probably cheaper too. I had mine done for the equivalent of $90.
Regards,
Andy.
