Hi any one got a couple of 924 or thing stub axles for sale? cheers Aaron

So you want Type 1 with a type 2 flange yeah ?

bevelhead - April 11th, 2011 at 06:10 PM

thats it mate, tried to do my homework, are 944 stubs the same as 924?

matberry - April 11th, 2011 at 07:11 PM

Yeah, Rod Penrose has them new for less than $150 IIRC. They are strong even though Chinese.

bevelhead - April 11th, 2011 at 07:26 PM

ok, heres the go...i can use them for type 1 irs arms to have type II or type 4 cvs..which is good as i will use them...but the main project is i read a post on the samba is that type 1 stub will fit upper reduction gear spline, i was about to get the original rgb input machined and cv flange welded on when i read that post, so that is the reason, if it doesnt work out i can still use them for what most of you guys do...decent cvs in type 1 arms. Why do i want cvs on rgb? well the eternal subaru box thing that old mate has solved with the reverse cut gear, but this is for dual range 4wd slapstick baja Tassie style on the relatively cheap but reasonably engineered style:)

Well you wouldn't be the first to put reduction hubs on IRS arm. VW did it in brazil.

Yeah i know, i have a thread on the samba about that, also waiting for a guy in Sth Africa to strip a bus he has with the factory set up, just wanted to see what i could do at home

That top pic is home made set up

I say go for it! Some issues with the suspension going up under acceleration but hey its a baja. I can't solve the dual range subie box thing anyway without casting new gearbox cases with the split input shaft on the left. And that's not gonna happen. I'm keen to see how that might turn out with reduction hubs.

Hi

They are the same on the early 944 arms, the steel type arm that look like bug ones.

Thanks for that

I like what you are thinking and it is good to see people doing things outside the box. I will do you a set of Chromoly Stubs which are type 1 - type 2 CV for $160 delivered if that helps you out, I have them here on the shelf.

ttriebler - April 13th, 2011 at 05:05 PM

Brad I'm keen on a pair of these as well. Can you post some pix up for everyone. I'd like to see how they accommodate both sizes of CV's and if the stubs still have a retaining ring on the outside to hold the type 2 CV's on. Not that it's an absolute necessity....

Thats a bloody good deal.....i will get a set off you, you have PM. Did some measuring... a lot of looking... and a lot thinking.............and promptly got a headache:), tossing up whether to cut snout of redux casting and have input further into bearings, or space whole box off spring plate, i had considered using datsun half shaft plunger set up with adapter to cv flange......mmmmm, i need a drink.

bevelhead - April 13th, 2011 at 10:58 PM

I have stubs sorted thanks, started thread here.............
