i'l have a word. i havnt managed to get a fixed price from him yet. what hubs are you using? i dont know off the top of my head but are all bearings the same for 944s?

Using early Turbo hubs (1 year only) and turbo 4 pots. As far as I remember the 944 bearing sizes are the same but spacing between may differ.

also had the boxster S rear discs opened up to sit on the 944 hubs
discs have gone off for powdercoating. also rebuilt the a arms with new bearings etc and put together the spring plates with weltmeister bushes slowly but surely making some progress |

how bout those Boxster discs at the rear. What it means "opened up".
You mean inside, so You can fit them on to the hub? Cool project by the way 8)

yeah the hole in the middle has been enlarged 2mm iirc - to the same size as the 944 disc so it sits on the hub in the correct position (if you look closely at the hub there is a raised ring)

Cool.
Does OG 944 4-pot caliper fits perfectly, or You've made some spacers, or You don't use them at all?

il be running 996 rear calipers (same as boxster S) but the disc is the same diameter and thickness as the 944 turbo disc - however i think the offset is slightly different but again only a couple of mm so may require spacers for 944 tubro calipers

well ive been working on the chassis this week to get it finished. ive shamelessly copied a couple of ideas off of another project build on here but as it ws one of the neatest installs ive seen it seemed silly not to!
The rear mounts worked a treat but needed 8mm spacers between the framehorn and cradle and this is the front mount welded together which was then trimmed and neatened up the shift rod was shortened 20mm and the underside of the chassis was closed up similarly to the other project build. Framehorns were clearenced for the Larger CV joints and kafer bar set up mocked up and the tabs welded in i only had 1 short and 1 long bar to do this as the rest is still being made i also ran the fuel lines its off to the blasters and powdercoaters next week, then the obttom is being gravitex'd and painted black (over the powdercoat) then i can start to think about building it up! |
