Hey all,
I'm researching what it would take to convert my '74/4 rear axles to 911 parts as a potential approach to my rear 5-lug conversion. The piece of the puzzle that's got me confused right now is the joint flange, the piece which the transmission-side CV joints bolt up to. PET shows two part numbers for the '70 911:
1. Despite different part #s, my understanding is that at least one of the 1970 911 joint flanges *will* fit my 914...correct? 2. Which of the two 901 part numbers should I be on the lookout for, and what's the difference between the two? Shout-out to Eric Shea for schooling me on this stuff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (Eric, I figured I'd go ahead and research in case our parts swap doesn't pan out for some reason. Can't hurt to learn a little more...

... you'll need the "coarse" spline transmission output shafts. i got mine from a '77 (i believe) 911 ... btw. the 911 CVs won't fit the 914 axle shaft (different spline) and the 911 axle shaft will be too short ... that's why i went with 944 CVs on my car.
