When I search for info on different axle, stub axle, hub, cv combinations I can't find much help. Most everything is kinda iffy or vague and I find lots of contradiction from
one post to another about what will work togther. There are many confused people out there I'm sure.

If anyone is running a frankenstein setup or is a sure expert on the topic, please fill us in. Part numbers and pictures are nice too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm with you, I'm always left thinking I know less after reading the axle/hub/cv posts than before I read them! I can seem to find anything on my particular setup. I have a 915 tranny without ouput flanges and need everything from the tranny to the lug nuts (going 5 lug) and would love to see a layout of what I need. Model year range or part number of each part would give me wood! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Something like this as an example:

78 - 86 915 output flanges, 69 - 73 cv and axles, 69 - 73 911 stubs and hubs.

Does anybody know if this combo would work or what would be better??

I found the same subject confusing when upgrading my car to 5 lug, upgrading brakes and adding Fuch wheels.

Turning hubs down to prevent making contact with calipers, proper spacing of rear calipers, correct brake pad pin lengths, obtaining correct o-rings along with many other areas to "remember" are just a few things that come to mind when researching this project. I had enough going on with the V8 conversion and wanted to get this thing on the road.

I elected to pay Rich Johnson to gather all parts, rebuild as necessary and finish to like new condition. The experience was very pleasant and Rich delivered exactly what I wanted. He is very expereinced in this area and his advice on parts selection also helped me determine what to use. The best thing about this was all parts fit and looked like new when assembled.

I purchased my upgraded axles and cv's from Renegade and all other parts came from Rich.

hargray2,

My axles/cvs/adaptors are from RH. They fit a stock 901 but I believe Scott can provide adaptors for your 915 if there is a difference. Best advice would be to call them and discuss your setup.

Just checked RH site and it appears they do sell adaptors for the 901, 915 and 930. http://www.renegadehybrids.com/914.htm

Yes, the rear calipers are widened. Rich did this to fit the vented rotors. I wanted to retain rear parking brake and reason for sticking with stock 914 rear calipers. The history on the rear calipers is that they came off Richard Fisher's car when he upgraded last year. Richard has the beautiful burgandy V8 you may have seen on the internet. Rich Johnson knew Fisher was upgrading and obtained these for my project.

One thing I failed to mention is all this stuff fit without having to chase misc. parts or search junkyards. Bolted everything on, powerbleed the brakes once and never looked back. Yes, it cost more to have a pro do the leg work and labor for me but it was worth it in my opinion.

They (RH) use VW bus axles with the adapters.

I use all stock Porsche parts with a 930 sized CV for 901/915 and 930 conversions.. It is actually very easy..

The reason you dont find EXACT part numbers is: we usally dont know what tranny you have when you are asking. When using a 915.. I need to know EXACTLY what year 915 you have to determine which output flanges you currently have (or a picture). If you have a 901.. then I send you early parts for large axles.

My questions is: what makes you think that you need larger CV's/axles ?? Have you broken a stock 914 CV ?

Brad, I guess you've seen my tranny by now. I didn't get any flanges with it, so I need everything from the tranny splines to the lug nuts. If you have some thoughts on what I should use and better yet maybe even be able to supply them, I'm all ears??

I currently have 914-6 stub axles (new) and a really nice set of stocker 914 axles/CVs, which I bought when originally planning on doing a beefed 901. Are all these parts now useless for my setup?

No, I haven't broken anything yet, I'm just curious as to what everyone uses on their cars (901 or 915) when HP is dramatically increased, ie. over 300HP. Do the stock axles normally give before the CV's do?
