Peter,
I saw that you were thinking of running 944 brakes out back with a vw trans. Is there a way to do so with a vw swing axle? I'd love to run the set up out back of my 55 with my Berg 5 swing axle!


Yes, that can be done as well... and I looked at it but it would have pushed out the wheels too much for what I wanted.
It would be a matter of machining the hub so it fits the swingaxle splines + making the carrier for the caliper.

The engine I actually made for my cal look 57Ragtop but changed my mind and figureed it would look a lot better in this outlaw:-)

Specs: 2110cc
- a Forged 82mm SCAT crank
- SCAT 4340 H beam connecting rods
- Steve's VW Shop STAGE II heads
- Raptor cam with lightweight lifters
- 1,4 ratio rockers
- 48IDA's on polished Gene Berg manifolds
- chromoly pushrods
- Modified BAS streetsport exhaust on CSP heaterboxes
- ...

a nice little package I think Very Happy
Lets see what the torque & HP curves will say Very Happy

Hi peter awesome build. Regtig pragtig. I want to ask you why you did not simply fit the left axle tube to right and the right tube to left. this places the shock mount behind the axle and is how Porsche did it anyway?

Confused damn... to be honest I did not even think of that Embarassed Embarassed !!! That would indeed have made it a lot easier (and cheaper)...

The bolt pattern to the spring plate doesn't really work that way. Sad

Hi Peter
I have to apologise as a previous poster said "Not everything you read on the net" is true.
I was quoting a post on the 356 registry forum which stated that both axles and tubes are interchangeable this is wrong due to the boltholes but the shock absorber mount also seems at a wrong angle if you ignore the bolt holes which could possible be made to work by re drilling 2 holes and making an adaptor
Sorry about that
Armand

No worries! it sometime can trigger new idea's even if they are not always executable:-)
What can be interchanged - I believe - is the original Porsche gearbox axle tubes onto the beetle gearbox. I have been looking for these for a while, but could not find them around here (and shipping from US was a killer).

Lets see, might still change the set-up based on driving experience...

Thanks,
Peter
