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?

What I did to run stock 911 Carrera axles in the rear of my track car is I took some CV Joint Gaskets to a machine shop that did water-jet and had them cut me out some spacers that are exactly like the CV Joint Gaskets, then used extra long 10mm CV joint bolts. It bolts directly to the 915 output flanges of the 915 Box in the car and since the outer ends have the integral stub shaft, the 914-6 stub shafts went away. The drawback as I see it is the one-time-use axle nuts. I believe that I'm using the hub centric outer 5-lug hubs, so I had to add a 5mm thick washer in order to use the stock 914 rear wheel bearings.
