What I wanted, was rear discs with a 5 x 130 (Porsche) stud pattern. Like you, Aussie Vee Dubbin, I wasn't sure which way to go. I looked at getting 944 rears but they increased the track and ca be difficult and expensive to source. The E-Brake also isn't bolt on afaik.
I looked around at what others were doing and came across this

It looked good as I had a pair of 914 rotors kickin around. So, I machined down my standard hub so it would fit inside the rotor. It by the time it fitted inside the rotor, there was bugger all metal between the stud and the outside of the hub. It was totally dodgy and unsafe.
I'd seen the ISP hubs and asked if these would fit inside a 914 rotor. Anthony (ISP) said that they wouldn't but I bought them anyway. When they arrived, I dropped them inside the 914 rotors and it was like they were made for it! Fitted perfectly. They cost me just under $350 landed and arrived in 10 days. These things are beautiful and worth every measily cent of 350. Yes, hellbugged, they come just like they do in the pic. They have a 5 x 130 threaded pattern for screw in studs and holes for 5 x 130 push in studs.
I'll list what I did for my late panned Type 3 with prices.
Bought ISP 5 x 130 - $350
Ordered rear caliper brackets from Mike Sharp from Sharbuilt - $215
Ordered used rear Mark 2 calipers from Mike also - $185
*Note - Don't expect that order to come quickly from Mike. It took TWO MONTHS to arrive. Very little communication also. They did arrive though..
Ordered NEW 914 rotors from Auto Atlanta (US)- $220
Had hard/soft rear brake lines made by ENZED. - $150
DC red obligatory heat paint - $15.
Bought 70mm x 10mm push in studs from "NICE PRODUCTS" in Marrickville- $110
Bought 8mm spacers (to get the clearance from the shock tower to the tyre) - $25.
Total - Shite... $1270. I couldn't be happier though.
This bolts together like it came straight out of a factory and is bullet proof. The caliper/pads match up perfectly to the rotor.
On the pricey side..yes but again, as previously mentioned don't scrimp on brakes!
If anyone wants to come over for a look see, pm me.
Cheers,
Steve
Ill get more detailed pics son and add them to my updates over in the Type 3 section.
