OK, so I'm ready to install the engine and found a surprise. The PO was going to install a later model trans. As such, they installed 915 style stub axles. The oem stubs are lost in space.
The existing stubs don't bolt up to the 914/4 axles and CVs I was going to use. The 2.0/6 "S" spec motor puts out about 140hp. So I wasn't worried about twisting them with high torque since I used this set up with a 3.0 in the past. My questions is....are 914/6 AXLES which I might have access to, compatible with 915 sized CVs? FYI 914/6 CVs have been NLA for 20+ years.... Since I have the sub axles, can easily find drive flanges for the trans, I was thinking this would be an easy alternative. Does the 914/6 axle have the same spline count? 28 is what I've been told. Simply using a 911 axle won't work, too long. Buying 914/6 stub axles is an expensive deal, $5-600. Mittelmotor and Otto.... Some good news, I HAVE been able to locate one stub axle...it will need a little machining as it's a bit corroded. But I'm looking for alternatives. Anyone BTDT? Or even better....an orphan 914/6 stubbie? |

Jeez...talk about a hijacked thread. So did get your stub or not? You also said you 'might' have access to some /6 axles. Did that pan out? If not, I have a set here in the garage collecting dust that I could offer up. Not trying to turn this into a classified ad, just letting you know.
I've re-read this a few times and am still unsure of what /6 owners do when they need a new CV. |

If it is a real 914/6 CV: It would be really cool if you could/would measure the bar length and post it. Hopefully it is 20 1/4" long. It would also be nice to know if the splines on the end of the bar number 28. I got Mike a pair of stub axles. |
