Let me try to explain this again. I went to O'Reileys and asked to use the A-! Cardone reference books (They are used to strange requests from me). These are two volumes of about three inches thick each listing all of the C-V axles in the world. Knowing that the Corvette hub was 28 spline, I first eliminated down to all axles with this outer joint. Then I narrowed down to all axles that were a reasonable length, which eliminated Blazer and others. Now I know that there are several styles of inner joint and the Audi uses the flange type. I then shortened the list to this inner joint. Three hours later I had the list mentioned earlier of the axles. They are all BMW full size cars. Look in the salvage yards all you want, these are the only axles in the world that fit all of the criteria. Unfortunately there was not a flange type on the short list with the correct bolt pattern but this was the least of my worries. I knew that Aeauto could make adapter plates for me and that the thickness of the plate could be used to fine tune the overall axle length. I also knew that he could machine the speedo sender into the plate and eliminate an addittional $120 part, which would just about pay for the plates. With my OEM pricing, those axles are $50 each brand new. Now I can do the math, a thousand bucks for custom axles and a $120 speedo sender, plus the time and effort, or a few hundred and done. This seems pretty cut and dry to me, I do not see why any other option is worth chasing, but I can tell you that those are the only axles in the world that work with all of the requirements. You are welcome to my hours of research if you would like to use it.
