Finally cracked this rear end.what a pain in the botox that creative porche pattern kit turned out to be.first of all you need a spacer for early bays between the hub nut and the hub as the splines stick out to far and you cant get the nut to tighten the hub up,creative dont supply the spacer so i had 2 made that worked but then the hub nut stuck out past the wheel .so then i scraped that idea as i cant get the centre cap on the wheels so next idea thanks to a few phone calls,i had to find some late bayt stub axles as they are 20mm shorter than early bay ones,so found them fitted them in and then the nut wouldnt go down the thread enough so then i had to take my hubs that i got off creative and have 12mm machined off them so the nut would go down the thread enough.anyway job now done and the cap goes on but what a pian and extra expense that has been.also whipped the half shafts out and the cv joints are really dry and gritty so im replacing those.will i ever get this thing on its wheels.one day i guess.
