All in all. She went back together quite well and it was a quick jump start lesson on the Boxster.
Why not just find a used flange. Maybe from Woody (itsnotanova)?

Someone with more knowledge can chime in, but adding nuts to the back sounds to me like you're asking for trouble. For one, it may throw the axle off balance.
