Been doing alot of research with a couple of friends into porsche discs on the rear of a bay, we think we're close to a workable solution and it's suprisingly straight forward!

Remove original a-arm mounts and replace with bug items with modified profile to suit bus torsion tube. The position of these will have to be measured carefully from a bug/porsche.

Modify bus springplates using porsche springplates as template to take 944 a-arms and disc assembly.

Bolt everything up... hand brake mech. will need some work, cable manufacturer should be able to knock something up.

The only bit i've not resolved, is whether the bus master cylinder can still be used or a 944 one can be fitted without too much modification.

I'm open to comments/thoughts etc...

nb. these ideas are based around using an early 944 rear setup.
