Help with shipping from the USA
I am looking to buy some trailing arms and Porsche rear brakes from the USA and need to get them shipped to Brisbane.
Is there anyone on here bringing a container back soon with a bit of space I could buy from them?
Thanks
Yogie

Hey Yogie, if you dont have any luck & shipping to Melbourne is of any use to you, I get a fair bit of gear out of Carson CA, as long as
the parts are clean, the costs would probably be cheaper than the cost of freighting from Melbourne to Brissy cheers Frank

Hey Yogie,
I am actually going to europe in a couple of months with the intention of picking up 944 arms and porsche brakes for myself. I was going to put up a
post asking if anyone wanted me to put stuff in my crate for them as well.
Going end of april.

Thanks VolksVair. It would be cheaper to get them to Melbourne in a crate than by post. I will keep your offer in mind. The arms I was after turned
out to be the wrong ones so I am looking for others now.
Birdman, if you know of any early steel trailing arms from the 944 in Europe, I can look at sharing the shipping with you as well so if you can point
me in their direction, I will contact them. I will actually be in Italy/Germany in early April also (going to Wolfsburg again  )
Thanks for the help guys.
Yogie

Early steel 944 arms....ummm.... you sure ???
I have a set that I unbolted from an 86 944 NA myself, and they're EXACTLY the same part as on an IRS beetle.
Are you maybe talking about early alloy arms instead... as in from an 86 944 Turbo ???

Hi Sides,
Everything I have seen on anything later than an 85 has been the beefier alloy arms and they widen the track by about 25mm. It is to go on to a ghia
as well so I can't afford any extra track width. What I really want them for is the adjustable spring plate as my existing ghia arms are OK and also
the Porsche hubs that come with them.

Right, OK - that makes sense... early alloy arms are fine for a bug, but yeah - would be a prob in a ghia methinks.
Give me a shout if you don't find anything - my 944NA hubs and e-brake assemblies may be up for sale before too long (just standard bug spring plates
tho).
