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)

Aaron, Does the 944 stub axle need to be from a Turbo, or will a plain 944 work? Am I also correct in assuming that the 914/4 & 944 cv's have the same spline count? The car does have the original 914/6 hub & flange on the swingarms. Ron stubs are the same between 951 and 944 im told. 914/4 cv's internal spline - 33 there are 27 and 33 spline 944 cv's...you want the 33's thus the 944 cv's slide right onto the 914/4 axle shaft

That spline count is good to know,cause I already have local wrecking yard-owner I that has a 944 beater in the back I can rob the rear out board stubs.


Any chance the splines on the stubs are the same as the 6r units I already have.Or will I need to rob the 944 of both the stubs, & hubs.
