The reason you don't see a real world example is that no one has finished and posted their project online. I know for a fact that anyone that uses my flanges with bus axles will work perfectly - I guaranty it.

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?

Steve the bus axles may not be the right length if they don't put the motor in the same position you have yours.

Kewl, I have no doubt that the magic flanges will work perfectly for those using 100mm CVs, and I look forward to seeing a working example -- particularly someone who's successfully implemented a workable cable-shifting solution.

My cable shifter is all worked out in my head, and I've recorded the throws/degree turns of the Suby transmission shifting input rod in a spreadsheet. I've already procured a Toyota MR2 shifter and a Mitsubishi Eclipse shifter for mock-ups, including the shifter cables from the MR2. The MR2 shifter assembly seemingly makes the most sense, since it was used in a mid-engine car and the cable controls point toward the back of the car. However, its throws are looooong. The Eclipse shifter mechanism has slightly shorter throws and seems more robust than the MR2 unit. I'll post some pics in the coming weeks on my build write-up (http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=83031)

The shifter throws are only long if you make them that way. It's simply a matter of figuring out the relationship between the shifter and the length of the arm on the tranny shaft. Of course the shorter the tranny shaft arm the more effort it will require to shift. On the forward and back motion you can shorten the shifter stick or add a extension on the bottom of the shifter to improve the ratio. You might also check out a fiero shifter.

Who wants flanges?? I have enough people that have PM'd me to make another order. If you are really ready to write me a check send me a PM. I need to have 5 sets of flanges before I can order another order of parts. I am going to do this order for FREE, I will only charge the actual cost of the parts plus shipping. All of my time is free because I want more people to do the full tilt Suby swap. Once I have 5 confirmed orders I will get an exact quote and get the cost out to you.

Good news!!!
I will be able to sell the flanges for the original price of $495/pair!!! I just have to invest in 10 sets so I will have 5 sets sitting on my shelf - hopefully they will sell or I will be out a lot of money. My cost for 5 sets was $630/pair because the cost of splining is the same for 10 parts or 20 parts. I will start the ball rolling next week. I will still need prepayment for the parts as I don't have that kind of money laying around.

I am getting ready to order the parts and write a big fat check, looks like I have plenty of buyers - 7 sets so far. If we can get over 10 the price for everyone starts dropping (the splining cost is constant due to the low volume.) PM me and I'll send you the payment details. If I can get the cost down I will just put checks in the boxes when they ship out to you.

Before I can work on the 914 I need to finish my DD Volvo. I am just getting ready to go out and work on (actually in) the Volvo. I am almost done installing the sound deadening material on the firewall and then a little wiring and I can finally install the heater/AC core and the dash. Once that is done I need to install a full set of urethane suspension bushing and my Koni yellows and it is good to go and I can finally work on the 914.
I have the front of the engine mount done and I have the design for the rear part in my head. The trans mount is going to be easy and I may integrate the shifter mount into that if it looks like a good thing. I dropped the flange off at the shop yesterday so they can have it while the G code is prepared.

Well my check is in the mail... at least it will be Friday morning when I go to work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm allready looking forward for that package on the door step. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Thanks Steve!

You guys might as well get some of Dr. Evil's bolts to go with these flanges.

Get them - and learn how to use them. Both sides of the axles. I don't even want to think of the mess that loose axles would make. Both of mine were loose when I pulled my engine.
