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)

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.

John
