I've got stubs and hubs from a 69 911 and a 915 tranny from a an 85. When I went to measure up the axle flanges from the 915 it matches the diameter of the stubs from the 69. Only thing is, is the 69 stubs mount the cv's with 4 bolts and 2 pins. What I was thinking is to have the 2 roll pin holes welded up and then drilled and tapped with the same size bolt hole as the other 4 bolts.
btw the 915 axle flanges and the stubs both use 10mm bolts. Has anyone done this type of modification and on a safety stand point is this something that would be avoided. |

QUOTE(914RS @ Oct 26 2004, 09:10 PM) Your '69 parts are not going to work with the '85 915 parts. The '69 parts are 8mm, not 10mm. If you're going to go through the trouble of doing the conversion this way, get some late 915 axles and some late 915 hubs to put together with the 10mm bolt tranny set up. Sorry about that, I just checked my spreadsheet of parts and the stubs are from a '70 car. A couple minutes ago I just double checked the bolt size on both the stubs and axle flanges and they were both 10mm. You made a good point of the spacers, I might need those. Now in regards to the hubs I got a line on some late 915 axles. Thats why I wanted to know about welding in the roll pin holes and then drilling tapping them to mate the 915 cv's. |
