Help Needed, and this is the PLACE to GO !

Here we go with a couple of inquiries and assistance needed:

1/ WILL my 944 Front Hubs WORK on my 911 struts (3.5" spacing) ?

2/ And WILL the 30mm front rotors to bolt to my 944 FRONT hubs ?

3/ REAR - WHAT do I need for ADAPTERS to bolt my 944 turbo calipers to the Stock
914 Rear Control Arms ? What is the best and most common way to do this ?
(Note: the 944 turbo calipers appear to be about 3.75" bolt spacing; I plan
on using Carrera rotors on the rear.)

4/ Anyone have adapter templates (from 3.0" to 3.75" spacing for the rear caliper
mounts ??)

All replies and comments are greatly appreciated, ever if another method is suggested.
Thanks again and awaiting your replies.

Allan

1)...yes, the hubs should work, another member here just did this a few weeks ago

2)...if the 30mm wide rotors fit 911 hubs, they will fit the 944 hubs

3)...you can cut and weld new mounting ears to the rear trailing arm (this seems like a great method for those that can fabricate and weld) see this thread, not much info about it, but it's pretty darn simple if you have the parts in front of you to measure and layout
more caliper talk ....when I get around to installing my 4-piston RX-7 calipers on the rear, I'll probebly go this route instead of using adapters like I have for the front.
