Today Sandwich fitted the 1/2 shaft axles to the car. This is how you do it. You take a Porsche axle, cut it, put a sleeve over it and then fit it to the CV joints. You then hold the suspension at ride height and adjust the length of the axle so that the CV joints are 1/2 way through their plunge ON BOTH CV JOINTS!!! Tack weld. Rotate the hub to make sure nothing is binding AT FULL DROOP AND AT FULL BUMP. Measure the axle. Then MAKE IT! YEA!!! (But, just to be sure, you need to make it out of aluminum first )
