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.

meursault and Brad,
Like you said Brad, the early 911 drive flange slides right into a 914 wheel bearing and takes the early 911 large face 4 bolt 2 pin CV joint. This is just the combo I am using. The early 911 CV joint has the same dimensions as VW bus CV joints and instead of 911 CV joints I use VW CV joints. And I have this combo already in my car. This works. meursault , your idea is nearly right, but you can NOT mate the VW CV joints to the 914 axle shaft. The length of the splines in the axle (see the pic, L) are too short. Dont ask how I found out this.... I had to mill some material away from the axle to be able to mate the VW bus CV joint to the 914 axle. It can be done, but I think it weakens the axle. The problem is the material of the axles. They are damn hard. Now I want to do it better. I want to chance those modified 914 axles out from my car and use VW bus axles. Hope this helps..... |
