944 stubs in a 914?

Post by Piledriver »

I came across info that indicated the 924/944/Thing rear stub axles fit a 914.. Can anyone here verify that? I don't have a set handy to compare.

(The object of the excersize is converting to T4 CVs, since it's time anyway)

If this is the case, All I need is one pair of T4 flanges for the trans side, and relief cut the centers of the CVs so the 914 axles fit at the right depth.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

I will have a set of 924 stubs in about a month.
You could borrow them to verify.

I do know that they will drop in a T1.

Have you cross ref'd the bearing package from a 914 to a T1/2/3?
That should yield a bit of info.

Thanks, Helo, but Bruce2 informed me in the transmission forum that it won't work, the splines are wrong for the 914 rear hub.

I had a feeling it was too good to be true...

I'll either hack off or buy a set of flanges from Weddle or such and weld on... I have a lathe & TIG setup at my disposal.

Pile, are you looking for a set of 944 sized gearbox side, output flanges?
If so, maybe the Bugat5speed components can help?

Perhaps, it's for a Porsche 901 trans.
Still need the outboard.
