Brakes

My beetle cable with drums all round. So upgrading to discs is a must. 

There are a number of ways to do this, I chose to use early 944 parts. 

The rear is pretty straight forward. 944 discs, carriers and calipers are a direct fit to the standard beetle IRS arms. 

The front is a little more complicated. Early 944 brakes can be used on the late 1303 (3 bolt strut, not 2 bolt) if you also swap to the 944 spindle.

I picked up a set of front and rear calipers and discs, plus front spindles for £60.

Kawasaki green seemed an appropriate colour.
