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. |

QUOTE(914_1.8t @ Jul 6 2004, 04:13 PM) *Front suspension/brakes/sway bar from 83 Carrera. *Radiator hoses. I still need to call renegade as I hear they have them. Is there anywhere local that I can get these from? Or can I just run 1 1/4" plumbing pipe under car and conncect with radiator hoses? *Mount master clutch cylender directly behind the clutch. Where can I get a brake cable or high stregth rubber hose to run from master cylander to the slave cyl. (located on tranny)? Any Ideas? *Rear springs. I'm thinking 180lbs but wonder if I should be going heavier? SC <-83 or 84-> Carrera. Difference is SC 20mm thick, Carrera 24mm, and spacing on the calipers. A local hose shop should have them. RH likes Gates Green Stripe, but it is soft and tends to sag. My local place (Alternate Hose) carries Dayco, has a wire molded in and is tuff/strong but doesn't like to bend. Same place can make you a clutch hose. If it will fit, run it through the center tunnel where the cable used to be. Check old treads for hydraulic clutch installs. I'm running 180 springs with a stock Carrera front end. It's firm but not rough for me. You should be like 50lbs lighter than my Nissan6 so it's a good starting point. For reference, my car is 2250lbs without me in it. |
