Had a chance to meet Steve in person and see his 914 up close. Very impressive build! It's a rare day when not just one, but two 914's were on San Juan Island!

Hey Steve. Great project. Was curious where you bought your gas tank inlet and gas cap ?

Thanks. Brett

Hi Brett, took me a bit to remember the right words to search. I got it on Amazon. The flange wasn’t drilled, and it has a sealed cap. No longer available from the source I got it from, but

Non vented flanged Remote mount filler neck are the important words

I have been happy with it. I wet installed it with fuel compatible rtv.

It was great to meet Dan too and check out his fun projects. Once I walked into the hangar all of the work I have seen on his threads started to come back to me! I am excited to see his car on the road more. I think they will look good side by side.

Looking forward to some fun new drives around the islands.

PSA…

Sheared off a diff stub axle this weekend. The part I purchased is commonly used in applications like this. Calling around, failures like this are common in applications like this. Subaru Case, quaife torsen, stub, flange, CV,

I got about 20k miles on these stubs including some track use. So not terrible, but fortunately it sheared clean accelerating in first gear. Don’t think it did any engine bay damage.

Good news is that it was a beautiful day, and I carry the tools and parts to replace a CV. I was able to get the axle out quick on nice warm dry asphalt and then get my neighbor to help me flat tow 8 miles home.

I am working on a plan to replace in the car, should be doable in 4 hrs or so once I collect parts/tools. Will be welding a stud to the stub and hoping the 10 lb slide hammer will fit at full droop.

Attached Image

After further discussion with some suppliers. The better option for me is an OEM part number, which can be used with older OEM oil seals. I may need to widen the snap ring grooves to fit the round wire snap rings instead of the flat c rings of the older assemblies (read removable without splitting the case). Apparently some of the more recently manufactured stubs fit both rings.

Stubs: 38415AA110 (might need snap ring groove widening)
Wire Snap Rings: 805329010
L and R oil seals: 806730041/42

Note that old stubs are 30mm OD at the oil seal with 30x50x9 oil seals
New stubs to deal with new transmissions that used new CV axles have a raised land for the oil seal, I think to prevent damaging seals with splines on install. These use 35x50x9 oil seals. These stubs are only aftermarket.

I am probably a couple weeks from reassembly as I’ve got other house projects lined up, but will provide update as it comes together.

The fracture occurred at the the small diameter of the fillet near the outboard side of the oil seal land.

Attached Image

I haven’t had a chance to inspect the fracture surface in detail yet.

The bonus of a tight engine bay.. the inboard CV got trapped between my subframe and the bell housing. You can see some material missing on the case to left of the sheared stub.

Did the work to swap the stubs this morning. Start to finish just under 3 hours. The slowest part was making coffee and refilling the trans oil. It’s a lot easier to work under the car when it is a foot off the ground. I left it on the ground.

Drained fluid. Replaced plug with oem seal. Inspected. It was nearly brand new. So I reused it.

Welded counter sunk fasteners on the end of the stubs so I could get a short slide hammer on securely. Yanked stubs out no problem. Slide hammer to unseat seals then Pried oil seals out with pliers Cleaned, oiled, prepped for reassembly.

Used the short slide hammer/seal removal/install tool to install new seals. Used slide hammer on small wood board to seat stubs. Replaced axles. Torqued my cvs until my wrist clicked at 30 ft lbs. need to finish torque later.

Refilled fluid.

All the part numbers in my prior post worked as intended.

Now to get a beer.

Nicely done! I was trying to picture the sheer, but the picture says it all. Wow, glad it was a fairly straight forward fix to back on the road.

And back on the ground.. with wider front track. All the math worked out to hit target alignment with minimal part swaps from off-road mode. Turns out old me did current me some favors. Took 2 days with alignment this time. Probably can halve that now that I made a manual (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Absolutely will lift it again. It was super fun with soft suspension, a foot of ground clearance, and minimal traction (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I figure I’ll switch it back and forth every couple years. We will see what happens this coming winter when it is too cold for summer tires.

Had some recent inspiration while cleaning the garage and following these earlier sunsets.. console area lighting.

Rare when all project materials are within line of sight and it actually gets completed in one sitting.

Getting to a point you can work on some of the smaller projects is fun. Looks cool!
