Good measurements and images.
The goal is to figure out how to convert 915s with 100 mm CV joints to 108 mm CV joints.
My personal effort is to additionally use the end cap.
How are you going to address the issue of the gasket if you don’t use the end-cap?

Thanks Grady -
As tired as I am of CV joints, I have taken so much from this BBS, I felt it my duty to provide some useful info here as a contribution to the well of knowledge.
Converting my rebuilt, fine splined diff. 915 to 108mm flanges was exactly my goal. And using the end caps where possible was a bonus for me too. It should make engine removal/install SO much easier to have those on the inboard (transmission) side. No more grease, gaskets etc.... I'm excited for that.
I will continue to use the typical gasket (no end cap) on the outboard (wheel) side CV to drive flange connection. This is an OK compromise for me as I won't mess w/that end much if at all for quite some time. Finding a cap to fit that end would be nice, but I don't see any obvious paths for that.
That's it for me and CV joints for a while (hopefully!). It is currently snowing, my fireplace (gas stove) is running and I almost always have positive Porsche thoughts - so 4 out of 5 isn't too bad! (I'm drinking tea not beer!)
Thanks,
Tom
