I don't have a part number
but the original joints were NLA for a long time and last I heard, porsche classic had them again but only sold a complete axle with 2 joints on it. It might have changed as I have not looked recently. the solution that people used when they were NLA were to buy the VW bug CV joint that was available. and drill it for the roll pin stud and maybe the gasket groove... these are sold often already modified by shops in the US a used joint is probably the quickest way... or find a shop in europe that sells the modified VW joint. brant |

thanks for the speedy reply. it looks as though they are going to have to ship a spare over here that they have at home.

QUOTE(sportlicherFahrer @ Jun 16 2022, 02:08 PM)  Another bit of info: The new CV's that Porsche is making can be found individually, but only fit the new axle shafts they are making. They changed the splines and do not fit original axle shafts. Part number is 914-332-029-03. Refinement to info above -- the part number above only fits 914/6 axles due to spline count difference. As previously stated, Porsche Classic was last selling complete axles with two of the CV's noted above and a reproduction of the 914/6 axle and splines. These complete axle assemblies will bolt on to a 914/4 as long as they purchase the complete axle assembly. |

Ask the poor guys like @bbrock that purchased that p/n from Porsche only to find it doesn't fit a /4 axle. I also notice they are now using the same axle part number for both 914/4 and 914/6 -- As built in the 70's, they were clearly different. I have a physical set of each -- never forget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I have also purchased the new CV's from Porsche and indeed they fit the 914/6 axle shafts. I suspect Porsche Classic knows little to nothing about 914's. We'll call it a revision of 914 history. Part differences between 914/4 and 914/6 are now down the memory hole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

I wouldn't usually advocate "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" but in this case you are probably best served by replacing the axle & getting both good CV's rather than risk the other (of likely equal vintage) to fail in short order. Othwerwise Id say: I have a NEW replacement CV's in stock HERE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

First order, wrong spline count. I returned those for exchange, with Pelican telling me they could get the right spline count with a special order from Germany. Turned out those were also wrong. |
