Humble what size bar u running in the back.

I was going to use some 944 but with the Gwd rear sway bar mounts and our 901 front traverse it is not a good fit. The 944 seem shorter then the beetle ones by an inch or so. If I have to use the 944 I need custom endlinks at about 5 inches or so.

Thinking the beetle may be a better fit but can I trouble u to measure the short length so I can compare.

Rear IRS conversion bits look really nice need to check the price.

Alex - is that price for your Beetle to 944 alu arms? With all the hardware? If so, let's talk about me getting one of those sets.
thanks.

I can still offer one or two sets less than 800€ before May, but at price 750€, due to a risen cost of aluminum and actual machining time.

As for timetable, usually i'll get the aluminum in 1,5-2 weeks, machining takes time 2-3 weeks. Bolts and uniball joints i'll get at few days.

I'll say this to all, there is always some little scratches on a hard aluminum like 7075 T6, and i'll usually take all sharp edges (easy to get cuts to your hand) nicely with smooth metal file and small fast spinning dremel carbide sanding band.

Also i add chamfer to pieces at edges where the rod end "comes out", it gives to it more room to move. Machinist is somewhat too busy i guess to make it most of the times.


At my ex work place, they did sometimes a lot of sanding and smoothing to aluminum parts if they were ment to be anodized.

Again offering one kit at price 690€, this time for 944 aluarms, because i have one leftover pair of 944 aluarm brackets. Delivery time 3-4 weeks.

Exactly like this kit at the picture:
