[ldscamaross]

i will try to post some tomarrow if i have time. i just aboout have the engine cradle done. it is taking alot longer than i thought. trying to center the engine and tranny and make it level and build mounts takes forever. i have the main structure tac welded and tomarrow morning i am going to finish welding it. the rest of the mount will have to wait for awile because i am going down to southern utah for my summer job.

What is the current status of the shallow oil pans?

I know it's a 911 not a 914.

I have a kit I purchased from SharpBuilt in Australia. It's not very impressive for the cost. I hope to start working on getting it welded up pretty soon.

Start begging (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Actually just PM me and I will start a new list, I need 10 pairs sold to sell them at the same price.

Hey Steve,

If someone would like these in the future, how do we do that?

Just checking in to see what the statis is and to make sure I'm on the list for a pair out of the next run of flanges.

Thanks,

Checking in to see if there is any updates on the next batch of flanges?

I just got a new quote for a small run of 5 sets of flanges. Unfortunately the cost has gone up and the smaller run costs more per part. For five sets of flanges I will need to add $50/pair to the original price. More sets ordered will slightly lower the cost. New price will be $545 a pair. Who wants in on this order??

Count me in for two pairs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

With hopes enough other people join it to help bring the price back down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Something new to add to this thread!!!! I was pointed toward a vendor with a shifter for our cars. I talked to him and I have ordered one shifter kit that will be at my door mid January - I will modify the kit and sent the parts back to him and we will have an official Suby into 914 cable shift trans kit - off the shelf and ready to go. We will also have a group buy!!!!

Sounds good to me!!

[Carlitos Way]

That's a great idea. I hope it comes through. I've already spent the money to have my rod adjusted/modified... but this might be a GREAT way to go for others... or perhaps something to consider as my project has been delayed.

[ldscamaross]

i would be intrested, i havnt gotten to that point yet. still working on wiring. but lets see what you have come up with

Steve,

Here it is sitting in my car, this is about where it will be mounted. It seems just about right. The cables go into the access port and out the old shift rod hole (I will need to add another hole for the second cable.) The whole thing should be easy to hide in a custom console that could be made to look very stock.

[Porcharu]

Does anyone need a set of flanges? I have 3 people that need them but I have a minimum order of 5 sets.

[strawman]

Has anyone successfully installed a Suby transmission with these flanges yet? If so, can I get some pics & details on how the install went? Thanks in advance!

[Porcharu]

look here
Subi
Lots of detail - not sure if it is for my flanges.

Plz sign me up on that list for the flanges, I am currently getting some money together for them but it sound like it will be a little bit before they are ready to order so please let me know.

I have used that supplier for the cable shift setup, we built a 550 spyder replica with a 3.0 911 engine in it with the 901 trans. Very nice quality and it only took about 2 weeks to get it. He makes the cable shift setup for the subaru transmission'ed dune buggies so its just a simple modification of the length of the cables

[charliew]

TT914, I desagree on the sandrail or the saker type cable location. It's not just the cable length. That is why porscharu is working on the new setup for the 914. The old version has one of the cables I think it's the rotate motion cable coming down at a 45 degree angle at the top and it would not fit under the floor of the 914. He is re-orienting the tranny mounting position of the cables to fit the suby tranny in the 914. That might mean that the piece that goes on the shift shaft will need to be changed because of the hole that attaches it to the shaft will need to be relocated.

[strawman]

I really like the idea of this setup, but I still can't find a real-world example of a running 914 using these flanges. Anyone?

[charliew]

Whats not real world about the flanges and vw bus cvs and axles? Or if the bus axles aren't the right length get swayaway axles. I'm going to use 911 stubs and brakes but the trailing arms need to be redone for the wheels offset that I want to use. There is no question about whether the flanges will work with 100mm cvs on the suby tranny.
