Hey, Im getting ready to send my cv axles to be machined for subaru cv joint doj's on the trans side.
Has anyone else done a subi swap and retained the 5mt subaru trans and needed to shorten their axles, or used hybride axles that they knew were shorter? Would love not to have to ship them out twice. Thanks Also.. What happened to the guy selling swap parts as Coldwater914? Is he still around? I was going to order a couple of his products.. Ill do a search Mitch |

several have
and I think they used Dutchman http://www.dutchmanaxles.com/services pls keep us posted ian at coldwater is trying to put together a group buy of sorts but this may be a while. see post #180 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...6674&st=100 do a search here for "dutchman" and you should find some related threads. seems bigkat was going to 5 lug hubs/stub axles, so he had 911 axle machined. I do not know if 914 axle is thick enough?? it is long enough, but you may need to get a 911 axle machined on both ends if you want to remain 4 lug?? http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...amp;hl=dutchman |
