944 spring plates
Can I use 944 spring plates with 944 turbo torsion bars? What are the brushings involved? Thanks, I broke the uniball setup twice, so I'm going to use the torsion bar! I'm using the alu trailing arms. Thanks. Cheers, Happy Holidays!

All torsion bars from 924-944-968 are the same length and spline, so: yes.

I just know the inner vulcanised 944 rubber bushing needs to be burnt off and replaced with a beetle bushing. Quote:

Thanks Wally for the info, the member coneecting the uniball and the plate broke, I'm still not sure why, it has ruptured at the same place twice, but on the left side its still ok from day one! would going over a pot hole do this damage? I'll get the pics soon.

spring plate info's.
I am using 944 alu arms, 944 springplates and torsion bars. I am using a polyeuro beetle inner bushing and a deralin 944 outers.

Hi
The last set of 944 spring plates I did, I only took off the inner rubber bushings so that I could fit the VW ones, I kept the stock rubber outers and used a cut down 944 retainers. I've burnt the rubber off in the past, it doesn't feel right heating suspension parts so this time I sliced as much off as I could with a hacksaw and did the rest with a wire buffing wheel on a bench grinder, very messy.

Is it possible to use early 911 torsion covers?

I thought so, but never used them myself. There is a very good german beetle tuning book on handling ('Bodengruppentherapie') that mentions them though.

clive you want to get involved in a group buy from protech? I am stateside and am pondering the costs of shipping... anyone else? we can all get into a new setup?!
I am still sourcing this solution and have recently stumbled into a problem. I can't seem to find the pitch for the 14mm bolt in the 944 trailing arm. Anyone know? |

Aren't they M14x1.5? You can check with a standard wheel bolt (if its long enough) Clive |
