P/N on rear axles ? Options

[Literati914]

I have a set of 28 spline, 108mm shafts that were definitely running on a 914 before I got them (I only assume a 901 was being used, but never saw the transaxle). They came with a set of stock 5-lug rear hubs - as well as a set of trailing arm that had been modified to use a 911 E-brake set up (driver's side only).

I thought 108mm 911 axles wouldn't work with a stock 914 transaxle though - is that right?

I'd like to find the part #s on these but they are super cruddy and I'm no-where near needing to rebuild & use them. The p/n's are not obvious, I figured they're probably under one of the CV boots - can someone confirm which (end/boot) I need to cut off to find it? TIA.

I'd like to use the axles I already have (I just assume they're 911 at this point) and since they obviously have worked on the 914 they came off of, I was hoping to use them and save some money on new axles.

But I'd really like to understand what set up it actually is.. so finding the p/n would help solve that mystery - if I can find it, hence the question.

..yes, my assumption is that course splined 108mm flanges were used in the original 914 trans (which someone got without realizing it had a flange mod)... but still, I was under the impression that the average 911 axles were too short for use with the typical 914 set up. I thought custom axles had to be used with 108mm gear - but these do not appear to be custom and have very obviously been used on a 914 (came with the trailing arms). So, is that not true?

I do already have an un-used set of 930 CVs, so that part's covered.

I can't remember but the 911 axle is either too short or too long for this set -up.

What you have is the sought after 911 108mm stub and hub, but it's missing the transmission flanges. The trans flanges themselves won't be cheap unless you're lucky and then you still need the axles.

One way to go if under 150-160hp is pull the 108mm hubs and stubs and sell them. Then buy Eric's new 5-bolt conversion hubs, new bearings and it's all /4 parts for everything else.
I bet the sale will cover the new hubs, studs and bearings.
