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

how do you fit the fronts as the bearings are larger on the 944 and dont fit the vw spindles?

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

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.
