914 stock stub axle - dimension? Options

[jimkelly]

anyone have a 914 stub axle laying around?

i was wondering what the OD is of the splined area.

i'm thinking of using a second stub axle bolted to main stub axle and having the second splined to fit this vw splined flange that is type1 to type2/4 (924/944 100mm cv), for wheel side.

or simply turn down the stub axle so the flange can simply be welded to it. this would make the trans side and wheel side easy, but simply needing welding, after cutting and lathing.

pair of 924 axles $150 DTA brand on ebay.

4 flanges $35 x 4ea = $140

924 axles are 16.125" AND 944 AXLES ARE ?"

That seams like WAY to much work. To many fail points IMHO If your going through all that work why not just mill up some adapters?

The way I have mine setup is 100mm adapters on the wheel side stub, VW Bus (100mm) axles, commonly used up to 500hp, then 100mm stub axle in the trani. Bolts right in on my setup (Because I centered the trani) I dont even have to have custom axle shaft lengths. Just right out of the box axles.
