Without worring about axles or attaching to the transmission, the question is;
If I install 71 911 hubs and stub axles on my 914, can I bolt the 944 CV unit to the stub axle? Wes |

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Feb 5 2008, 12:43 PM)  I use late model 911 hubs and 944 stub axles. Both are easy to find, and will work together if you cut down the hub to fit the bearing. Just chuck them up in a lathe and cut them the same length as the 944 hub's bearing surface. They are cheaper too.... Wouldn't that put the wheel flange about 10mm closer to the trailing arm? The later model (aluminum trailing arm era) 911 rear hubs used a 10mm wider bearing and the hubs were just cut deeper to accommodate the 10mm wider bearing. I have used a spacer to make up for the more narrow 914 bearings. That places the face of the 911 hub back to the original position. The later 911 rear hubs had a centering ring of sorts while the earlier ones did not. As far as I know, both ways work equally well once set up. |
