This kit from JBugs looks like it would work on the 914. Maybe?
The sale Price looks good also. https://www.jbugs.com/product/16-2236.html VW 930 Axle Kit - 20 1/4" - with 28 Spline Axles  |

Yes it will work IF you have flanges and stub axles. Says they are BACKORDERED.

I would drill two of the holes to 10mm ans install roll pins. Not sure about the axle lenght as VW bug axles are shorter |

Corrected my yes statement. You need 911 hubs and stubs to make them work. Add about $1k for them.

If you have the 911 stubs and hubs along with the 108mm flanges on the transmission side (the same parts you will need for those $595 axles), these will work and are only $30 per axle: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk...288&jsn=475 Here's further discussion on the subject: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=368822&hl= This also means you'll need 5 bolt wheels, as the 28 spline hubs only come for the five lugs. |

Also source or machine 4) 10mm stainless/ or cold-roll short dowels >>needed for 2)left 2)right dowel pins at the outboard (trailing arm) sides of this axle set up (blue stripe indicated).
10mm (10.9) grade bolts, and 10mm Schnoor washers work well. No gaskets available for c/v's...so thin film of silicon permatex to make the seal.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/marty914.jpg) |

Yes, you will need roll pins. Here's one source:
https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/9990...-095-019-00-OEM Rock Auto did provide fasteners with the axles, but can't remember if they provided schnoor washers. |

Are the ones I’m using. 108mm 915 trans flanges and early 911 1973 stub axles with floating 108mm cv’s. |
