I have been working on an adaptor to get a set of 986 base brakes to work on my 944 2.7. Had a set that didnt work entirely well so i figured i should make my own. I could make a couple more sets up if anyone is interested. Would be machined out of 1.5"x1.5" 6061. Cost would likely be around 100 for a pair. Would be plug and play kit and the only thing other than the adaptors that would be required would be the calipers, 951 base rotors and bolts. Thoughts?

Not a bad idea but is that a cheaper solution than getting the spindles and hubs from a late offset 951 to accommodate the calipers?
I know that it won't work that easy on an early offset 944 because I went through that route.....'86 951 brake upgrade.

i might be interested if they could work on an early..however i wouldnt be using this for some time..

or if youd be willing to share a design that i could use in the future lol

Dimi, it is likely a better solution as the 986 calipers are monoblock and accept a wider array of pads... this would also use less parts and wouldnt require an alignment for install(replacing spindles).

Than it is sounds like a good solution....too bad it wouldn't work for the early offset 944s. Let me know how it goes!

On some V8 hybrid 944 site, there is a guy using lexus ls430 calipers. Found it!
