Any ideas on where to get CV joints? I need them like yesterday. My current set is shot, but I have a used set that will get me through the Route 66 drive this weekend, but I'll need a more permanent solution.

Help! My car goes nowhere fast sittin on the jack stands! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Thanks

The shop I deal with gets me rebuilt ones, in San Diego of course. I would imagine that Patrick or Beck have them or can get them?

If you can't find any good used originals, this VW joint works fine. You have to ream out the locating pin holes a bit to get them to fit. I've been running one of these behind my V8 for over a year with no problems.

If that works, it's a major find. I found a complete kit for $47 but I don't know how much is useful.

Paul,
Where did you find that kit? All of the parts should be useful. Axle is same diameter. Bolts may be same too.

It's in the WorldPac online catalog. Their part number is K6000-15061. You can get it at any WorldPac dealer. Try European Automotive Specialists. Tell Andy that I sent you. Their price is $47.56. Buy two and its free shipping.

Dealer cost is $40.82.

Ok guys for the last time, Eric Sanders (Partsman) bought up all the CV sets for 914s from NOS in Germany. When they are gone, they are gone. Eric - save me a set just in case. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

They fit the splines, no problem. I had to put the joint on my drill press and drill out the holes slightly so the roll pins would fit. At least that's what I think I remember doing. Whatever I did, it took a little bit of farting around but it fit. The CV's internals look the same to me as stock, the transaxle side is a little different where the joint mates to the output shaft. I put a bead of permatex to ensure no grease gets out.
