If you remember, I send some pics about my trailing arms a couple of months ago. Then I had just moved the bearing housing 15 mm inwards. After those pics I have sandblasted them, done all modifications for 911 e-brakes and painted them. Hope you will like the pics.

How do the bus axles meet with the 911 CVs? Bus axle shafts appear to have the same fine spline pattern as 914 axle shafts.
I'll let you guys in to a little scheme I have going on the back burner. I think I can convert the rear of a 914-4 to 5 bolt without any machine work and without the expense of factory 914-6 stub axles. I figure you can grab a couple of CV joints for a late 70s bus, mate them to the 914 axle shaft on at least the outer side, bolt to 911sc stub axles and standard 911 hubs, 914-6 rotors, and voila! you have 5 bolt. Plus you have a larger, hopefully stronger CV. Has anyone ever tried this? I don't see any snags so far to this plan, so I'm wondering why no one else that I know of has tried this out. Anyway.... |
