UPDATED MAY 3, 2010!!!!

If you have worked on your 914 (who hasn't) then you know what a royal PITA it can be to keep your CV bolts tight. Many times people have had them come out and cause damage. I urge everyone to check their CV bolts often as many end up being loose after a very short time.


Orrrr, you can saftey wire them and sleep better at night knowing that your CVs aint going no where.

The details:
Bolts are 12.9 hardness (harder than stock) 6mm socket head(no special tripple square tool needed).
They are drilled out and chamfered.
They come with a full set of new schnorr washers (serrated washers that are cupped and should ALWAYS BE USED no matter what).


Have a different size bolt that you want converted? Shoot RJMII a PM here on the forum and he will see what he can do. Same thing goes for different quantities of things.

(Note: I used to do these and Jim took over and is doing an even better job. I just converted my original ad so as to reflect the change. Sorry for any confusion. Please contact Jim [RJMII] for your transmission and CV bolt needs)

Pics of the lovely CV jewelry. It really is a shame to put these in an area wher only you will see them (when you are working on something else )

Since they are drilledit would be easy to make a nice necklace or some ear rings for the special lady in your life

If you have questions about how to safety wire, please ask as it is importatn to have it indexed correctly (like in the picture).

Here is an example of the correct technique.

these bolts are very cool. scored a set from the good doctor a few weeks back. almost too pretty to put on the car and get all messy! the pic of the safety wire makes it easy to get it right.

buy these things and worry about one less thing going wrong on your car!

Thanks man, glad you like them.

Mike, taking Paypal payments?

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 6 2006, 08:28 AM

Hey Dan,
Sorry I didn't get back to you. I dont always get notices of replies to my posts. I can take Paypal, but it will be $1 more to cover fees. Also, notice I raised my price $1.50 to better cover shipping AND I am now gonna offer 8' of .032" stainless saftey wire with them for an additional $1.50.

I may even offer a set of saftey wire pliers in the future....but I dont want to get ahead of my self.

Just PM me about your order and I will get you my info.

Thanks

Sent you a PM.

If we did our safety wire this loose on the helicopters at work, they'd make us cut it off and redo it.

Tighten up ship Dr. Slacker.


Looks like a good idea. Don't have my car yet... but, well, I'm sure I'll need those. And a set for body jewelry too. Wonder if they're too long for my belly button. Hm....

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 11 2006, 10:52 AM

Ya, I worked on and aircrewed HH-65s for 4 years and I know I COULD have done a better job, but necessity was not there. Function over form.

As for the belly button, I can get them in different sizes to better match your torso diameter

Its all good Sarcasm and such is welcomed here.

Notice that the above instructional data was taken from T.O. 1-1A-8, an Air Force Technical Order. Good to see that this 914 community is able to learn from America's finest.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 13 2006, 10:37 PM

I though that it looked familiar. I know we used AF TOs in the CG

Posted by: Ctrout Jul 13 2006, 10:46 PM

I was the T.O. manager for my unit for three years. I loaded that page to this site a couple years ago from a CD version of the T.O. I'm back on the flightline now but I don't get to do much wrenching anymore. E-6 types usually just stand around and watch others work while we collect a fat paycheck. I tried to drill my stock bolts. What a pain without a press. I'll be ordering a set from you soon.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 13 2006, 11:07 PM

I agree with the E-6 thing, that is why I quit at E-5. Enough power, less responsability, and I still got to wrench all I wanted When you want the bolts they will be here.

Hey Doc, any of these still for the getting,, if so send me a PayPal addy. and I'll send you the money...

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 31 2007, 08:13 AM

Yup, gonna make these until I cant I'll PM you.

Posted by: StratPlayer Feb 8 2007, 10:24 PM

Money was sent Doc.

Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 9 2007, 08:01 AM

Bolt were sent, they havent arived? They went out Sat. Let me know if they do not show up by Sat. I sent them to the Paypal addy.

Posted by: StratPlayer Feb 11 2007, 12:42 PM

So far Doc no go, lets wait another week and see if they show up. The addy on your paypal invoice is correct.

Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 11 2007, 01:13 PM

I am sorry they havent shown, thats bull shit. I'll get on making another set today and send them out tomorrow. I'll label them #2 so we can see which ones make it. This is the first time that the PO has lost one of my sets. Maybe they thought it looked like a WMD

Posted by: StratPlayer Feb 11 2007, 01:29 PM

Don't give up yet, give it another week.

Posted by: StratPlayer Feb 14 2007, 05:05 PM

Hey Doc the package just arrived. It was post marked on the 3rd of Feb. Talk about snail mail, glad we waited another week and you didn't send off another package. Thanks Doc

Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 14 2007, 07:08 PM

Too late, I sent another pack out on Mon. It just urks me when the mail loses stuff and the customer is left holding the bag. My customer service was influenced by Craig at CAMP914

I'll contact you about the other bolts....

Posted by: StratPlayer Feb 18 2007, 12:15 PM

Hey doc, the other bolts arrived yesterday, do you want me to send them back? Let me know.

Posted by: SGB Mar 5 2007, 09:35 PM

Anote about installation- you will ned to have the drilled through hole at 10 o'clock and 4 oclock so when you feed the wire through it does not hang up...

The quality of these is great. Much nicer than what I took off. I'm sure even without the safety wire it would be more secure....

Hey- a Doctor that prescribes preventive medicine! Better cut that out.

Posted by: iamchappy May 7 2007, 09:07 PM

Mike I sent you a PM, I could use another set.
Thanks...

Posted by: jimkelly May 21 2007, 07:30 AM

got mine : )

need to install.

it just dawned on me why outside bolts don't really need this - if bolts all come out - outter cv has no where to go - but inner would cause all kinds of havoc ; ((

nice product yo!

Dr Evil,

Maybe (as a newbie) I did it wrong or something. But, I need a set of CV bolts.
I'm doing a conversion project, and seem to have lost 4 and 2 plates for one side.
Can't even get the engine started before I'm replacing parts!! So how do I go about getting a set of 8, wire etc. BTW, do you know of a source for the plates? Pelican says they're NLA.

Hey Mike, I am out at the moment and am busy until after Fri. I would be glad to make you up a set then if you would be so kind as to remind me. As for the plates, I may have some that you can have. I'll check this weekend.

Just rec'ved the secret package in the designated drop
thx

Posted by: Mike Knox Sep 11 2007, 07:06 PM

Dr Evil,

The bolts arrived today in a very professional looking package. And you're right! I DO wish my nuts were THAT safe!

Thanks again for being such a good sport about my unwarranted sarcasm.

I hope the Med Boards went well and are now behind you.

PM'd about sets for two teeners. Thanks.

They came in today's mail. Thanks!

Posted by: charliew Sep 3 2008, 11:44 AM

Hey Doc, I pmed you about some bolts but I just realized I need more than the normal application. I am using the larger 100mm, bus axles and cvs, the ones for the 5 bolt and type 2's that take 6 bolts. I think the bolts are the same.
I need 24 bolts and enough wire and washers.
I also didn't send my email addy.
Thanks,
Charlie

Mike did you remake these with four holes drilled in them.
Either way id like another set.
Now that your a real Dr. and not a playtend one,
i think it would be wise for me to have a spare set laying around before you vanish from this site.......

Ya Drew, I plan on bringing some sets.....I will need to make them. I hate making these damn bolts I just got in from making 3 sets out in the shop Its definitely not for the $$$

Posted by: JazonJJordan Jul 23 2009, 03:46 PM

I love these Dr.Evil, great idea! Keep up the great work~

Posted by: pilothyer Aug 16 2009, 01:48 PM

Hello Doctor.....I am in need of two sets of your most excellent CV Joint Bolt Kits. (enough for two cars) with the SS wire and, if possible, 16 additional schnor washers for future use. I will await your reply with Pay Pal info and total amount due, including PP fee, wire, extras, etc. Items will be sent to Decatur, Alabama 35603 .. Thanks in advance.. Jerry

Posted by: smontanaro Sep 29 2009, 06:27 PM

Doc,

Silly question perhaps... I am still unpacking at the new house and have no literature on hand. I take it these work for /6s as well as /4s? Are two sets required for one car?

Thx,

Skip

Posted by: Dr Evil Sep 29 2009, 10:08 PM

/6 will require 2 more per CV. One pack has 8 bolts, etc. So, if you want to do all 4 on a /6 you need (4x6=24, 24=3x8) 3 sets total.

Posted by: JazonJJordan Sep 30 2009, 04:56 PM

Sir Evil~ I will need sets for 2 cars- 914/4's also.
Thanks for the great tech work solution! PM sent -Jordan

Doc,

I need to order a set of washers and safety wire. I installed the bolts and now I can't find the safety wire. Let me know the cost including shipping to 97601!
