Default Help figuring out correct axle.

OK, so this is for a Honda City from India. The car came with a D15/Y8 motor and an L3 transmission. I want to figure out which axles and consequently, which transmission I need to use for a B swap without changing the knuckle/hub.

Posting a picture of the stock D series axle to explain.

The inboard side (transmission/diff) has a diameter of about 25mm and 25 splines. This is irrelevant, but just in case.

The outboard side (wheels) axle has 26 splines and a diameter of about 26mm at the splines. The nut that goes on is a 32mm nut. I presume it's going to be the same on both sides, but I've only measured the shorter axle.

I want to figure out which B series axle will go in directly into the stock hub since we have a different suspension setup (struts, no double wishbone goodness) and swapping knuckles with USDM/JDM Civics isn't an option consequently.

There are many cars here running B swaps and stock knuckles/hubs, so it is definitely possible.

Nobody? This should be easy for the guys who work with B series axles.

Sounds like the same spline info for all bseries axles. Not 100% on the diameter but I know besides the crx hf or whatever all d series hubs accept b series axles (the hf has a 24 spline count or some number thats different than b series)


The problem you might face is going to be with the axles length
