Hello,
I started collecting parts of this project 30 years ago and the last parts have fallen into place. In this post I hope to clear up some confusion and convey some of what I found trying to complete this project. First piece  purchased form PAR in Yonkers NY 1986 914.332.209.00 casting number 51D The LSD found its way to me in 2013 from the venerable Cap'n Krusty  The diff needed some work as it was missing internal spring plates which are NLA.  Item number 4 in this factory illustration. This part places tension on the clutch pack which is measured as drag. The factory spec on this is 29 - 58 ft. lbs This item can be replaced by what is now called a "cup" spring from and early 928 part no. 928.332.555.00  seen here as item number 10 As for the internal wear parts, the 914 parts are NLA but, get this they are replaced by mostly 917 parts! WAY COOL. Just the beginning, stay tuned! Mike |

I decided to inventory my flange collection and provide part numbers and some better dimensions. The attached picture shows 6 flange pairs. From left to right they are:
1. 901 332 209 15/21 used in the early 1969 911 with Aluminum case. Total length 109mm. Length of extension into differential is 56.5mm. Diameter 34mm. 2. 901 332 209 22 used in 911 with magnesium case from mid 1969 to 1971. Total length 105mm. Extension 56.5mm. Diameter 35mm. 3. 914 Flange. Total length 99.5mm. Extension 56.5mm. Diameter 35mm. 4. 901 332 220 915/21 used for mag case 911/915 with LSD. Total length 109mm. extension 61mm. Diameter 35mm. 5. 923 332 209 02 small flange used in 911SC after about 1981. Total length 109mm. Extension 56.5mm. Diameter 35mm. 6. 923 332 209 04/05 used in early 915 transmission. Same as 901 332 209 22 except total length is 106mm. Then I stuck the flanges into the matching differential carriers and measured the flange to flange spacing. The 901 and 911 were 260mm. The 915 was 262mm and the 914 was 250mm. The last picture compares the LSD flange to 901 332 209 22. Looks like there is enough metal there to allow the flange to be ground down to fit a LSD differential. Total length of the modified flange would be 4mm less than the original but that should not make a difference.     |
