Axles shortened in subi swap? Options

[Mwood]

Hey, Im getting ready to send my cv axles to be machined for subaru cv joint doj's on the trans side.
Has anyone else done a subi swap and retained the 5mt subaru trans and needed to shorten their axles, or used hybride axles that they knew were shorter?

Would love not to have to ship them out twice.

Thanks

Also..
What happened to the guy selling swap parts as Coldwater914? Is he still around? I was going to order a couple of his products.. Ill do a search

Both 911 and 914 axles can be used. I've had both done.

I used 914 axles with a 5 lug conversion and had Dutchman do the machine work. See 3rd photo down for the complete assembly in this post.

And here's the specs I used for Dutchman's to re-spline. You'll definitely want to take your own measurements, but they should be close to what I came up with.

Or just buy a pair of sway away axles from Ian at ColdWater

I cant find any ordering or contact info on the coldwater site. I was going to get one of his spline couplers.. I dont want to order one from australia,
Anybody know how to get ahold of that guy to order parts?
Im sure im missing something obvious


Also thanks for those notes, when i called dutchman they just asked me to send the 911 axles with inner cv removed and the subaru axle and remove doj, they didnt ask for those measurements..
