944 / Beetle spindles

Are the 944 and Beetle ball joint spindles interchangeable? I think not, but I had to ask.

Can the 944 units be modified to work? They look similar from a distance, but that is not saying much.

Also has anyone considered taking 944 spindles and cutting the "nose" off to weld to a Beetle unit? Or any other way of getting them to join up kind of thing?

Seems to me this would be a good way to keep from machining the 944 hubs and still get an easy way into the Porsche brakes. I contacted Rizzag from STF and am waiting to hear back if he can do it. http://shoptalkforums.com/bbs/NonCGI...ML/000861.html

I have a local machine shop that might could help as well.

Just some thoughts.
