Ive got hold of some 944 front spindles, mainly for the hub carrier on them, but its got me thinking. Has anyone ever investigated flattening off the back of the 944 spindles, skimming the bay window spindle and removing the spike thing (whats it called you know the bit with the bearings on it!) then bolting and welding the two together in an offset position to make a home brewed dropped spindle?
Admitadly there is some heavy duty welding etc required to make it safe and some careful measuring involved. Just thinking out loud really and looking for input. I understand that most bay window dropped spindles are made from 2 sets welded together so why not make them from part bay window and part 944 spindles, then you can use standard bearing etc to mount proka wheels and have a nice mouting for 944 calipers etc...
Anyone got any ideas?
