For the rear conversion, a couple of options...

Currently, my 914 rear 5 bolt, uses early 911 cv axles. Then I purchase 911 stub axles and brakes rotor etc. Found a set of 911 / 901 transmission stub axles and put them into the 914/901 gearbox. Then I installed a ~1" spacer between the 911/901 transmission.

A hard way to do this w/o the 911/901 gear box stub axles is

Used the regular 914 cv axles. Then I purchase 911 stub axles and brakes rotor etc. Then I installed an adapter that I make that allows the 911 stub axle to bolt up to the 914 cv joint. The adapter was custom made by a friend. Up to a point, this works well, but for 200+ HP, the 914 cv's are not the best
