I have contacted a shop already and am waiting for a reply. I don't have the time or the resources to make them myself.

Sounds good..

So to recap..

You keep the stock beetle cables going to the 944 E-brakes.. You use this nifty adapter in place and some washer to add some tension by where it enters the Alumn Arms..

Is that correct..

Plus I am interested.. looks cool.. I haven't taken the rotors off the rear assembly yet.. so that is why it did not make sense..

I need to pickup a rear brake caliper rebuild kit, rotors and pads.. So I was holding off..

You have to file the end of the cable where it goes into the trailing arm from 14mm diameter to 12mm diameter for the aluminum trailing arm. If you are using steel arms you shouldn't have to modify the cables at all. I added the washers to take up some slack in the cables since I file down the ends too much. I also have old emergency brake shoes and wanted some adjustability in the system for when I get new shoes and rear rotors.

I'd be interested in a set if it's not to late.

Do you have prices yet?

Thanks,

Haven't heard back from the machine shop yet. I'll try again maybe he never got the e-mail. I have all the dimensions so I can send anybody interested in making them the plans.

I would love to get the dimensions if you don't mind.

Thanks,
Jason

If you have a fax line that would be great since I could send the dimensions full size. What I did was place the part in the copier at work and made a few copies. I then wrote down the important dimensions. Let me know how you want it sent.
