Mine, well not totally mine, but they are on my car!
Yup, some modification of the handle required, but the base handle yes...
I actually am preferring these to the trigger Porsche handles... I originally wasn't a fan, but they have grown on me over the last couple of weeks...

We've been working on modifying these handles for use on a 944 for a while. Since the Mk2 VW handles and Porsche handles are externally exactly the same, it stood to reason that handles designed to retrofit to a Mk2 would work as well. That's about 90% true, with the final 10% requiring some machining, fabrication and not a little engineering. But as JoKa can attest, these handles work with the factory mechanisms and require zero modification of any of the factory parts. This is one of those "by-enthusiasts, for-enthusiasts" projects.

Just about ready for another track day at Laguna Seca. 30MM M030 Hollow front bar is on with delrin bushings. The M030 19MM rear bar was put on a while back. Clutch job done, last time was 15 years ago. .12MM wear on the old disc (60k and three track days). Rubber doughnut explodoo at track day 2 weeks ago. It lasted 15 years.

hey, just a quick question would any of you guys know what would cause the radiator fans to turn on as soon as you put the key in the ignition and just keep running. a lot of the vacuum hoses are off right now i just finished doing a head rebuild and timing belts i received the car with everything already removed for the timing belts so its been a little hard trying to put it all back together >.<
btw its a 1988 944 n/a

Well, filled the car up with coolant today, installed vacuum port seals, installed new accessory belts and started her up for the first time in 3 months. She fired off after the fuel pump primed like she never had anything done to her. Then I started to make sure the coolant system was bled and somehow I managed to snap the head of the bleed screw.... nothing like having hot coolant spray all over the garage.... went to Porsche and had trouble finding a PN to order another, but eventually we did... so, it'll be next week before she gets everything back in order...
