another rear 5-lug topic Options

[GrayMatter]

I'm back and making progress again! =)

So after reading countless threads ranging from a few years old to almost 20 years old and so many different recommended parts (some NLA or extremely expensive or rare now at this point) and being more confused now than ever, I'm looking for an updated recommendation. I'm not concerned about loss of stock e-brake or having to install 911 e-brake or other solutions.

Thanks to @michael7810 and @ValcoOscar for transport, I now have a functional 914 tail shifter trans in my car. Thanks to another friend, I also have a complete '86 911 front end in my car as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And before anyone asks, my 5-lug and big brake upgrades are primarily for aesthetic purposes.

I'm hoping for my pie in the sky dream that I can find something that I can use with my 914 transmission while I save for a 915 or better trans if that's possible.

Is there any chance of readily available parts (911,944,etc?) that can use the Swayaway 911/930 custom axles and not require any custom machining to upgrade to 5 lug rear end with my existing 914 trans and allow easy transition to a 915 or newer trans down the road?

You cannot use 911 axles because they are too short. You can use what is in the Classic section about axle upgrades. 911 SC rear hubs are on Ebay right now for $125 (bargain) and add 5mm spacer to use stock rear bearing. Find some 911SC 100mm 6 bolt stubs and axle shafts of your choice (modified stock per article or full floating aftermarket). For CV's you can use 944's (33 spline) or 911 SC's (28 spline IF you can find them). You will need 915 coarse spline axle flanges for the 901 transmission.
