| Has anyone heard of putting porsche 924 or early 944 rear trailing arms on a type one floor pan? |

| They are the same as type 1 trailing arms, really dont see any benefit on using them unless you want to pay a Porsche price for them, and say you have Porsche arms. |

| Ditto. I see no advantage over Beetle trailing arms. |

I thought that they would be wider. which would allow me to put a bus tranny in my buggy.
I am looking for a cheap way to convert my fiberglass buggy over to bus trans and axles. |

Aren't they weaker than stock T-1 too? |

| Some think they are stronger, some say weaker. I have cut apart many VW Beetle and Porsche 944 trailing arms, and while they are re-inforced differently inside, I don't see one being stronger than the other. Just a different way to manufacture them. |

Thanks for the input, but I guess I'll just have to go out and buy or build me some 2x3 trailing arms and thing style stub axles.
