the car is off to buffing and interior. so time to start concentrating on this. yetibone happens to have access to a T3/Vanagon with axles and CVs intact (condition unknown though). looks like those are my key.
so after rereading all of this and without being able to mock this up until my car gets back, i am understanding needing the following to get the 951 trailiing arms onto my '73 standard bug:
tranny > T1 output flange > T1 CV > T3/Vanagon axle > T3/Vanagon CV > 951 stub axle
can you guys validate this? considering:
1. spline mating
2. bolt pattern mating/CV size
3. proper length to cover the increased track
4. anything else i am not considering
also, i am trying to compile all of the measurements for us. i am only lacking a few things. i will get the T3 Vanagon CV and axle numbers when i get those parts. if anyone can post the axle diameters for T2 and T181 (if it matters or is any different), i would appreciate it.
