Hi
Nice car MR badass. That answers a question, so to get a 944 handbrake to work effectively the Beetle handbrake ratio needs to be altered.
I have converted me daily 1303 to 5x100, I'm using BBS wheels from a Subaru on it, the Subaru centre bore is fairly small so I had to really cut down the Beetle grease cap on the front to fit inside the Subaru centre bore, the grease cap also pokes out a fair bit as well.
