ok, i have 951 hubs, I am having them cut to take oversize bearings, -to fit type 2 - or early 944 - this is because i want to run 996 discs and calipers

-now this all works out alright, but i have to use a 928 gts front disc, as its offset is 77mm

-now the 996 discs are 68mm

-so basically, i don't want the head ache of clocking and boring

-fitting oversized bearings -still with a spacer under the outer


-i just want a billet steel hub -150 by 100mm

-but with the wheel face 'about' 12mm farther inboard

-cut for type 2/n/a 944 bearings, but with the wider spread of the longer type 2 spindle

-and with the type 2 grease seal cut in

-plus utilising the stock type 2 grease cap

-so all you'd really need do, is find a type 2 hub -72-79
-copy it, for bearings, its bearing spread, grease seal and cap

-but cut into it the wheel face flange, 12mm inboard, drilled for 130mmpcd
-studs from the rear -'steel hub'

-on a type 2 there i sno 'ribbing'

-drill and tap for the disc location screws

-wrap them and send them to the uk!!!


-then i can get back my 951 hubs from the machinist, get back my £100 i paid for them
-and get back my £80 he wants to machine them

-give the money to you!

-ps whilst you were setting them up, you could also make some radial adaptors

-ps be aware the 986 -boxster and the boxster 's' =996
-front calipers are different

-the 2.7 boxster uses a 305mm disc at 24mm -68 offset

-the 's' and 996 =318 by 28 -68mm

-the actual caliper is wider for disc girth
-plus the cast in mounting lugs are farther out = half the difference in disc size

-I know i could use a mercedes disc on the stock hub, and run an adaptor
-but i do not want the 25mm plus track increase

-i want a track reduction of 12mm over stock

-ie the stock type 2 discs overall width is 82-86mm

-if i can run a 996 disc at68mm, then i am narrower 18mm per side

-thats 3/4 old moneyish

-seems the best solution as

-i have early 944 hubs -now, large discs are not available for the bolt to backs, I have cut a 3 series e34 disc and fitted it to a n/a hub - but i don't like it

-plus i need 318mm / 28 -the discs are cheap

-plus i have tried getting a 944 turbo 951 hub on a type 2 spindle - i am in the process, but alas it then may turn out to be even more expensive, as i will have to get the 928gts discs, or the 965 turbo -then actually cut them thinner

-pah

so thats why

-stock spindle
stock seal
stock bearings
stock disc
stock caliper

custom hub
narrow track
