OK so this is not your normal 914 performance project. Short story and then my question for some assistance from the 914Family. 1974 914 with extensive modifications, including Chevy LS6 engine and Audi transaxle - 6 speed, axle adaptors were custom made to mate the 100 mm CV's
Going from memory about 15 yrs ago, I recall we used typical 911 five lug hub conversion and standard 914 axle bearing, but need the improved range of motion that was achieved using the 944 Turbo CV's; and different length 911 axles with the correct splines (ie. #28) to mate to the 944 CV's. HOWEVER for some reason a "Spacer" was added to the end of the axle before installed into the hub; Anyone know WHY this might be required and IF so would it have to be shimmed tight unto the axle ? Because in my opinion this spacer is a loose fit, Any thoughts or concerns I should be aware of ? Welcome input and assistance, thanks Allan |

Spacer goes on the hub, before the bearing, only on the later hubcentric hub. It does not go on the stub axle. You don't need the spacer if you use an earlier non hubcentric 5 lug hub. The axle is a special length, ,sway away axle - listed in eric shea's 5 lug thread.
These two theads should explain it: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...5&hl=spacer http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...3&hl=spacer |
