Mounting Dimensions

No expert here, but my understanding is that most of the older Porsches used
3.0" spacing between the mounting holes; But the later Porsches used 3.5"
mounting holes. Your Brembo's will be 3.5" spacing between the mounting
holes. You can usually fabricate an adapter or you may have to replace your
struts with a Porsche 911 type that wil give you the correct spacing. Your
could also sell the Brembo's and replace with something else designed for our
loved Beetle. Good Luck

Allan

Note: 1977-1989 Porsches 911 used 3.5" spacing
All 914 Porsches used 3.0" spacing

That's the problem. These do not interchange, the single piston mount is 76mm and the four piston mount is 94mm. You will need 944 (not Turbo) spindles.
