I'm doing a Audi 1.8t conversion into my 914. I'm using a complete engine/tranny out of a FWD a4.
I've got the engine/tranny into the 914 and the transmission lines up perfectly with the rear hubs. Now I need to have a set of custome axles made. Anyone know of a place (preferrably in the Bay Area, CA) that can make these for me. I've found a place on the east coast but feel more confortable being able to take my car to the place and letting them do the measurements. Also, I only know of the one place right now. I'd like to know of other places (even east coast) that may do it so that I can compare/shop for the price. Thanks in advance. |

914 1.8t,
What year A4 are you swapping? AFAIK, there are two styles of flange on the trans. One with external ears for the bolts, and the other style has the bolts contained within the circular ring. The one's contained within the circular ring may fit the 108mm Porsche CV, but you'd have to check. Do a search for Raxles. They are very knowlegeable, and may be able to put together a mix of parts to fit your particular application. Please keep us posted on your progress, as I am adapting an Audi/Getrag 6 speed to my V8 conversion and would be interested in youroutcome. Do you have any pic's of your conversion? Andy |
