I'm sure I could figure out a way to mount the caliper n the T-3 front hub I would be a bit tricky. I have dealt much with the T-3 front end. are the brakes the same as the bug? I would start with a bracket as if it were going to be put on a ghia but leave the spindle side very long. Mount up the hub and rotor. With the bracket atached the the calipercut and grind on the spindle and the bracket so the fit just right it will take alot of time and pacients. you can you an old VW master cylinder to hold the caliper to the rotor once you are very very sure everything is PERFECT. tack weld the bracket to the spindle. I would have it fully welded be a professional because the metal must be heat before welding not to mention the spindle in case steel and the bracket is regular mind steel. It's lot of work but think of the braking potentional. a 944 weighs about 4200lbs a bug is about 2200lbs about half the weight and twice the brakes!!

Didn't the T-3 in 67 or 68 put disc brakes in the front of the T-3 I bet the rotor and caliper are the same as a ghia so there is your answer. Find later spindle and use the ghia bracket.


I'm having trouble know what post to reply to I get an e-mail that someone has reply to my post but I have reply to SOOO many posts I don't know which ones to look at I hate wasting my time looking at all the posts. any idea are more than welcome.
