Axle & Cv question, 915 trans to 914/6 hubs Options

[RON S.]

I wanna get some opinions on axle setups for the last leg of my 6r.

The car is an original 6,but it now sports a 993 engine,and 915 gearbox.

Every system on the car is now fully functional,and is fully roadworthy.

The last item left now,is acquiring CV's and a set of conversion axles.

I'm gonna buy a pair of Empi 930 race Cv's for the trans flanges,as in the photo.And I'm gonna contact
Sway-Away to have 'm make me an axle setup.

Now for the quexchun.
What to do,with the out board cv on the wheel end?The original hub is a 914/6 unit .4 bolt setup w/a Lobro cv.

Some recent discussion involved using 944 flanges wjich would upgrade to the 911 6 bolt cv.

Should I maybe should I maybe find & Modify a better flange to fit,or is the original unit satisfactory to use,and just get a conversion axle made. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

My suggestion would be to use a 914/4 axle, modify one end to use the 944 CV. Then put the correct flanges into the 915.

The outboard end would use the standard 914 cv joint. The inboard would use a 944 CV joint. You don't have to mod the hubs or buy special axles for this.
