OK, so I'm ready to install the engine and found a surprise. The PO was going to install a later model trans. As such, they installed 915 style stub axles. The oem stubs are lost in space.
The existing stubs don't bolt up to the 914/4 axles and CVs I was going to use. The 2.0/6 "S" spec motor puts out about 140hp. So I wasn't worried about twisting them with high torque since I used this set up with a 3.0 in the past. My questions is....are 914/6 AXLES which I might have access to, compatible with 915 sized CVs? FYI 914/6 CVs have been NLA for 20+ years.... Since I have the sub axles, can easily find drive flanges for the trans, I was thinking this would be an easy alternative. Does the 914/6 axle have the same spline count? 28 is what I've been told. Simply using a 911 axle won't work, too long. Buying 914/6 stub axles is an expensive deal, $5-600. Mittelmotor and Otto.... Some good news, I HAVE been able to locate one stub axle...it will need a little machining as it's a bit corroded. But I'm looking for alternatives. Anyone BTDT? Or even better....an orphan 914/6 stubbie? |

You all done squabbling? I believe mid-911 CVs will fit on 914/6 axles, and there should be a bunch of those around, maybe even here. I'm NOT sure about that, but it makes sense. Michael: There are a number of those CVs here for your perusal. IF they'll fit 914/6 axles, then the problem is solved and we're done. To those suggesting hub/stub conversions, there's the expense of the hubs, the new bearings, and the stubs. This is NOT an insubstantial number. Best way? Get him one stub. Next best, a pair of axles and some 911 CVs, IF we can find 4 good ones. Last choice, the /4 pieces.
