944 N/A Brakes, Master Cylinder Decision

1st - you want the 83-85 944 brakes, the later brakes have a different hub offset (that can be used but would require wider than stock fenders).

2nd - http://www.pelicanparts.com/944/944_parts/944_83-85.htm

3rd - the majority of people with 944 NA brakes on a Super have used the 944 NA mastercylinder with success.

Not to sound rude but that is because these questions have been asked and answered over and over; and over, and over again here. Everything I just posted is in many other threads already.

I second that; just installed my early 944 m/c onto the original 1303 holes, which have the m/c tilt a little bit. The 03 plastic grommets to the resevoir fit right in on top.
I just mounted the brakelight switch in the 3rd remaining hole withjout adapter and it works fine and has enough room to sit there. Just mount the switch before you mount the m/c to the bulkhead.
I have now reversed the front-rear brake lines. The 23mm cup is now for the rear. Contrairy to my beliefs and theory, this gives me a better balance now, as in that the rear is now giving more braking action, which before it didn't (front overbraking before).
And trust me: I have driven on our Zandvoort circuit with it (hard!) and it doesn't lock anymore front or rear!

I agree...

No, sorry, no pics web-based.

I used the 944 set up from MBT, I have 996 calipers at all four corners, works great.

Wally did you use just one brake light switch?

Was it a 944 or regular beetle switch..

What did you do with the secondary brake light switch..

Made some progress on my set up but a little stumped..

Also does anyone know where I can get a t-fitting assuming I need to run the secondary switch off the rear brake line?

Thanks
