these are available in 2.5" or flipped 6" and for drum and disc brakes
i'd like to run an k&l beam but also wanted to fit disc brakes.
Dont know if its possible to fit late bay discs on early style t'haus spindles?
Already e-mailed them but didnt get an answer..? :roll:

you can fit the late discs on early spindles... you need the correct bearings. I did this and had got bearings from a company in Canada. the make the correct bearings fitting for porsche hubs to late/early spindles too.

These spindles will be available with early or late shafts. They are not public yet.

So the answer to your question is yes you would be able to run late bay brakes.

is it only done by a bearing swap or do i also need some spacers or dadaptors?
i will need some caliper adaptors too i guess?

To fit 944 hubs on 55-63 spindles you need to have the hubs machined for different bearings. They'll also need spacers and caliper adapters. There's quote a choice of calipers available when we make this conversion.

You can't run 64-67, 68-70, 71-72 or 73-79 brakes on a VW 55-63 spindle.

Would this spindle mean no more bloody expensive Brazilian spindles in order to go KnL with late bay brakes!?

If so, VERY interested!
