944 Rears....URGENT HELP NEEDED

[Tim]

Thing flange has the same CV bolt pattern as the type 2 and porsche 944. However you need the Thing flanges to bolt on the beetle gearbox. Type 2 flanges won't fit beetle T1 box. I think there is an US company selling used parts for Things but I can't remember the name. You may try to search it on the internet. Alternatively you may buy aftermarket CV flanges with T2 bolt pattern for beetle gearbox. Search some online shops.

If a pair of Type 181 differential flanges aren't obtainable, you can use what you have with +'87 944 S CV axles. They're the ones with the finer spline that's same as a Type I CV axle. Use the Porsche CV joint on the stub-axle end of the shaft, and the VW CV joint on the differential end of the shaft.
