I saw this and I thought they might work for 108mm axle conversion. They are 6 bolt but I have no idea about the bolt pattern. Good for 400 hp for the GTO, probably more than enough for 914 conversion. Something you might want to play with. Same length as stock 914 axle 20.25".

When I can I re-boot OEM axles.
When the CVs are trashed I offer the customer OEM axles which are commonly over $500 each OR cheap Chinese copies. The replacement axles usually have different boots (that you cannot find down the road) and are of lower quality. Most have a "lifetime" warranty... When I'm installing Chinese axles, I ALWAYS replace the output seals on the tranny/rear end as leaks are stupid common. The Chinese axles have slightly different ODs and I can almost guarantee you will have leaks. What I haven't seen is axle failures. At least not in the last decade. The Chinese axles are always under 150 to the customer and I've had NO ONE choose the OEM stuff. Most of the time I can purchase the entire axle with a warranty for LESS than the cost of the OEM boot kits and its less work... I'm not a fan of Chinese parts but the axles appear to work fine. The axles that I bought via this thread were the least expensive I've EVER bought in 40 years... I bought them as "cores" to do experimentation with. Too cheap to resist! Thanks for the heads up @914sixer and @ogdougy |
