944 aluminum rear trailing arm info

[Steve C]

Hi

I measured my 1303 bug which had Type 3 rear drums fitted, then with early alloy arms. I've been told that Type 3 rears give a very small track increase.

Rear track wheel bolt face to wheel bolt face
1303 with Type 3 drums 1405 mm
1303 with early 944 alloy arms 1490 mm

Our 1303 has 924S alloy arms with 7" teledials on the rear and with a 31mm spacer the wheel sits perfect with +4" wings (fenders)
