Pulled an old book out of my home library the other night, "How to modify Volkswagen Beetle, suspension, brakes & chassis for high performance" by Speed Pro. I see it is still available from Amazon.
My point here is that damn near every topic that has been discussed on the Technical and General forums is covered in this book. With good pictures. From Chassis ID numbers to removing the body, to shortening the frame, front and rear suspensions brakes, 944 swaps, disc brake conversions lowering, mods, cables, shifters, clutches, and lots more. Well illustrated and easy reading. For someone new to speedys, or someone who just wants to better understand how it works or what the options are, and how the mods are done, this is a good read. Available used from ~$20.
I've got yellow high lighter all over inside my copy.
