ok, so there are two ways to do this im told, you can make a spacer to fill the area on the stub where the dust seal on a 944 used to live, or you can lathe that off, and let the stub sit deeper into the hub-
so here are pics with dimensions...... ill have to go back and write in the dimensions.... cant read the calipers on a few. (shoulda got the digital ones LOL) the materials required. Bearing, early 911 hub, 951 stub, calipers.  Bearing width.  diameter of "dust seal area" and diameter of bearing area on hub.  width of dust seal area  width of bearing area on hub  combined....  bearing diameter if you need it.  |

John/Clay,
very informative post. Can you confirm what type of 944 axles can be used and answer a few more questions. I think there are 3 or 4 different types based around differnet models and years. The Performance Products part number in an earlier post seems to match up with '87-'89 Turbo and '89-'91 S2. Are these the only shafts that will work or can the shafts of the earlier 944 or 944 S be used ? Do you also need to use the stub shaft from this same Turbo/S2 drive shaft or are the are stub shafts from the different 944 drive shafts interchangeable ? According to the same Performance Products listing there were different 944 shafts for :- 1) '83-'85 944 2) '85-'88 944/944S/924S & '86 Turbo 3) '87-'89 Turbo & '89-'91 S2 Can anyone confirm exactly which part numbers (preferrably the Porsche part number) is required in this conversion ? From what I have understood of the previous posts on here the other parts required are listed below - 2x '76 911 (915 transmission) 6 bolt, coarse spline drive flanges. 2x '69-'73 911 hub flanges with wheel bolts 2x '75-'84 911 stub axle 6-bolt OR 944 stub axle type TBC above (the 911 stub axle is a 'nice to have' if you don't want to machine down the hubs) Can someone confirm the Porsche part numbers for these parts as well to make the search for parts a little similier. Many thanks - if this set up works as described then it sounds fantastic. Andrew |
