IIRC, the C2 rear 2-pot Brembos were 44mm? Anyways, I really love those calipers!
Work great on the rear of my VW412, speaking of which (see the bridge I'am making ):




Porsche ClassicSport I (BBS made) 7x17 ET55 and 8,5x17 ET52 with 195/45(in the pic still 205/50) and 225/45 rear.
Front calipers are BMW 320, 48mm cups. Adapter plate for the off-set and stud-adaptment

The bug has the same wheels, but in 18" form 7,5J and 9J wide with 245/35 and 225/35 (now 225/40) semi-slick like tires.
993 rear calipers on the rear, GT2 rear ones on the front. Alu wide rear alu arms, front has 18mm 944 spacers with the original long studs, which gives an amazing original steering circle (which is relatively small for a 1303). Original size (wide) springs up front. Widenend fenders from Kerscher.
