will 944 drive shafts...

[super vw]

Ok, so i have all the 944 brakes bolted up, i have the 944 stub axles, and i have some 944 drive shafts that i want to use (100mm CV joints). i noticed the 944 axles i have are a little shorter (maybe 1/2 inch) than the stock drive shafts. Will this be a problem? I assume the type 181 (VW Thing) output flanges are the ticket to doing this swap?

The only concerns i had was the length of the 944 driveshafts i have.

Thanks!

I had a set of type 181 drive flanges and they stuck out farther than the type 1 drive flanges by about 1/2" to 3/4" so you should be fine. I 'm not 100% certian about the distance but maybe someone that has a set laying around could measure them for you. :)

sweet, i looked at the 944 units compaired to the beetle ones again and it realy is only about 1/4 shorter.

Thanks for the reply, you wouldent happen to have those output flanges and want to sell them would ya?
