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. |

Because they are modified T1 CV's. We've been doing that to GNK Loebro's for years. I stopped becasue I got tired of all of the questions about the fasteners, flipping the inner race and what to do with the boot flange... yada, yada, yada.
It would just be nice to have the real deal to bolt on. 4 holes, 2 pins, proper gasket area and the same diameter mounting surface for the boot flange. 1. Type1 CV's have to be flipped over so the gasket mating area will match the 914 stub axle and tranny flange. 2. Then you either have to forego the gasket and use a gasket compound or... 3. do what Chris did and machine a groove for the gasket onto that face. When you flip them like that, they now have a step on the other end that doesn't fit perfectly into the boot flange so you either... 4. fill that with RTV or I think Chris uses... 5. an o-ring to seal that area. Then you have to... 6. use 2 of the 6 bolt hols for pins. Those need to be... 7. machined out to the size of the pins. Then... 8. the inner race needs to be flipped. Do all that and they're fine. You also have to make sure they're good quality. These are literally the knees of your car... bad knees and your SOL. Not a fun job to do twice. -or- Request that GKN Loebro make a batch of stock ones and bolt them on with new gaskets and schnorr washers and have a nice day. That's why...
