Zen, those are the early arms, came off a 924s which is the same as the early 944t. This is just too much fun. Sure you don't want to put a 901 tranny in there to muck up the workes even more? :)

LOL. yea i'm sure, thanks though. :D

i at least have the spring plates on. just have to do something with the rest of it now (within the next 3 weeks).

for the hell of it i put one of my Ronals on. 16x8ET23.3. a perfect fit. i just don't like the looks as much as i thought i would and especially not more than the boxster rims i bought later. pic is attached. the rim is not nutted down so it is at an angle.

Zen, if you need I have two new type 1 CV's with new red grease boots. You could probably find yourself a set of axles on ebay. Just slap on the type 1's on the inside and the 100mm CV's on the outside and your done. :)

thanks for the offer. my old T1 CVs are fine. i think i am OK on boots too. have to double check that. just need axles and i think i want to go with late arms now. if they truly add 30mm to the early arms and my wheel was just a tad far out with a 1.75" spacer, i should be just right. so have to hunt some down to buy or trade for my early ones (gotta dream). if you see any, let me know.

I think I saw one or two sets of arms on ebay. They may have been early though. :(

Why do you discount T181 flanges?

Here are some:

no issue with them. just because tranny and everything is in the car. i am almost ready to roll with the car. not interested in changing to them at this point. just as easy to find the other axles i think.

You beat me to it, I was going to tell you there are a few 944s being parted on pelican parts. :)

yea. hoping to find some late arms local to save on shipping. don't know many yards here though except PAP and they are never cheap.

Try this guy, Jared Schulz, 417 850 1863. He's in St. Louis, but may be able to get them too you fast and with a good price.

Since you don't have axles at this time, swapping the flanges is a snap (pun intended). You can easily do it in the car in about 10 minutes. No need to pull the gearbox.

wasn't aware of that. thanks for the info. i thought it was more involved. i don't have axles at this point either way (and less cash) so just depends on what i can find when and how much.

Zen, I have a set of type 181 flanges if you want them. I bought them at bug jam but didn't need them. Let me know. :)

Swapping flanges = very easy. Soooo easy in fact, that even I was able to do it :D . Big thanks to Bruce for the flanges and even more for the tips on how to get it done!

ok, so what about changing flanges and stub axles in a type 3 squareback? Bigger CV's probably serve me no purpose anyway, but with a turbo toyota conversion in the future plans, what components would I require to do the swap? will the later 944 alum. arms fit my type 3 irs suspension? are the axle length and cv size requirements the same for me as for the type 1 guys?

Thanks,

Jay
