A couple questions about a 993 Brake conversion

I need some info on how to mount 993 calipers and rotors on the rear of a 1969 standard bettle irs set up. What machining is required, can vdubengineering do it, how much does it cost, what parts do i need to buy,

already have the front mounts figured out ( i'm going to go through vdubengineering for that onces all the parts arrive)
also what should I do for a master cylinder setup?

Thanks guys

Have you tried a search in the brakes section? This has been covered quite a few times on here.

I'm going a 993 front and rear set up also and I'm also going to have Lanner machine the fronts too.

For the rear I'm going with 944 n/a hubs, the mounting plates for the calipers, and the ebrake hardware. If you put the 944 rear hub, 993 caliper and the 993 disk it will all work together. You will need some small spacers made (about 3mm) to center the caliper on the disk.

Straight from VdubEngineering's site...

Incidentally, you can also use 993 rear brakes on the same early (85.5 and earlier) backing plate/caliper mount. The caliper will require a shim of about 3mm to centre it over the rotor.
Yes. If you use the 993 Rear calipers and rotors. You'll need the 3mm spacer.
