Hi y'all.

Heres the scenario.... I got 70' 911 hubs on the trailing arms on one end and 84 carrera flanges on the other end. what do i need in between. Are custom axles the only way? can i use 73' 911 complete halfshafts and change the 915 output flangs to The flanges that they could bolt on to.
what do i need?

P.S. I dont like adaptors. I rather have axles made.

thanks for the help.

To my knowledge ,the 911 axle is about 1 1/2 inches too short
for the 914 .

It's best to have a custom axle made.

Run the 911 axles. They work fine. The difference in length is not worth making new axles. The CV's have plenty of movement in them. We run them in race cars with over 340hp and 330lb ft of torque for years.
