axles or as I call them, half shafts. the output flanges from the transmission appear to be the same on both the 901 and the 915-

I believe the early 915 gearboxes use the same 4-bolt CV joints.

915's to mid-74 use four 10mm bolts and a pair of roll pins.

I believe the axles on the early 915 transmission are slightly shorter than those for the 901 gearboxes. From memory I think they were about 5mm difference. Given the CV joint's allowed excursion, I didn't think it would be a problem. I went and used a set of 69 axles on my 72, and they seem to fit and drive ok. Paul.
