I have made several inquires about having new 914 CV joints made up. All the manufactures I contacted said it would take a run of 500 to get things rolling. There are no cost estimates at this point.
What is the price point you would like to see? $50-$100 per joint? Since there are 4 per vehicle, how many would you be interested in buying? Please know that these CV joints will be made in China. I am neutral on this because the companies are ISO 9000. |

Sounds like we need to approach GNK about bring them back for a limited time.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jan 10 2013, 06:38 PM)  Sounds like we need to approach GNK about bring them back for a limited time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) ... we need the OEM OE quality as originally made for & spec'd by Porsche for the CV's, not lesser quality - even if cheaper, cuz you'll be spending more on multiple replacements. I'm not sure what Chris does with the Type I CVs to upgrade them to T4/914 Porsche specs, but my long time P-car mechanic won't use type 1 CVs in a 914, and doesn't like them in later/higher HP Bugs, Ghias & Buses either. There were Chinese ISO9100 companies producint the acid-laced drywall, inferior steel, & supposedly "Stainless Steel", lead in painted products, etc. - so don't trust their QC without someone there 24/7 from your own company doing QC with full power to reject & shut down production. |
