I was recommended lazer cutting, but TBH for just a single pair its a lot cheaper to have it done elsewhere. Batch production brings in economies of scale. A friend made some neat adapters to fit calipers to trekker spindles. The finish is good enough for me with a tight budget and a little effort!
Not that I'm poo pooing you. Rad Dubs is sound. And from what I see the parts are spot on

sorry to go on any pics, ive just gone the most pricey way possible by the look of it, by having the porka spindles machined ,bolted,welded and crack tested to a new set of cb spindles but it fits just thinking how long it will stay fitted

Pre 85 944 N/A hubs, modified for beetle spindles. These use standard beetle bearings but a thinner grease seal, available from most bearing places.
Spot faced stock drum spindles. This is important, others ARE different. Be aware. There is loads of alternative methods on GermanLook. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h6...b321/00006.jpg And the front machining http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h6...b321/00007.jpg Fitted with bearing adapters http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h6...321/car224.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h6...321/car225.jpg Courtesy of Chris Percival (GL.com) http://www.fastbug.net/drupalfiles/i...46.preview.JPG http://www.fastbug.net/drupalfiles/i...48.preview.JPG Machining Diagrams: BEETLE spindle, PORSCHE hub stock (all from Ricola's website) http://www.ricola.co.uk/images/Speed...ug_hub_ass.gif Bearing adapters http://www.ricola.co.uk/images/Speed...g_adaptors.gif PORSCHE hub mods http://www.ricola.co.uk/images/Speed...ug_hub_ass.gif Caliper adapter plate http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...r/DSC02680.jpg Oval: I'm getting there... Don't rush me!  So front brakes are added too. Can we get int the FAQ forum now?

Expensive as sin way. Many people do the CB drop spindle way. But my wheels fill the arches nicely so I'll just use beam adjusters.

Single pots make it easy, though I don't think the mounting for the different calipers is different.
