Progress with my 996 brakes!

Got the rears made up now.




I'm using one of Lanner's 944 ebrake kits.

Couple of pics of the front hubs on my site too. Only the front caliper adapters to make now which should be easy Then I just hope that the stock master cylinder will be up to the job!

Hey Rich,

What MC are you using? I'm sure you'll end up with a great setup, and I'll probably be copying you, so I need to get all the details!

I'll try the stock one first, if that's no good I'll use a golf 22mm one...

I knew it was going too easily... I have just been measuring up for the front adapters but the caliper won't go fully onto the disc, the pad is fouling the spindle caliper mount

This is far on the caliper goes, I need another 2-3mm to centralise the pad



The back:



Looking at old threads it seems Andreas (Typ Vier) got away without this problem as he has bigger discs for his 6 pots, although I have found about the same measurements for the adapters, I haven't measured the offset of the lugs on the front caliper though (holes in caliper and offset relative to the pad centres)...

I guess I will have to clearance the spindle about 3mm (maybe the pad plates slightly too) unless anyone else has found a solution?

At the front, you must use porsche 944Turbo 1987 HUBs, with porsche NON turbo spindles, make bearing spacers and make a similar caliper aluminium brackets like rears. With your superbeetle DISCS spindles the 996 won´t work.

I've decided to cut down the superbeetle caliper flange a bit and redrill the holes further in and spotface further back. That should give a simple caliper adapter like the rear one...
I'll get pics once I have some progress...
