I went over to Blind Chicken Racing and looked up CV Joints 101. The 914 CV is a slightly modified Type 1 joint. Type 1 shows to have 12 degrees of articulation. Going to update to 911SC rear stubs and hubs requiring 100mm CV joints. Type 4, Thing 181, 924/944 are all 100mm with 22 degrees of travel. VW Bus and Vanagan are 100mm too but with 17 degrees of travel.
Bus CV joints are about 1/2 the price of 924/944 with 5 degrees more travel than the stock 914. Any reason they would not be more than heavy duty enough for the job? |

OK, the 100mm bus CV's came in today. Disassembled them to show the difference. Bus CV's are a whole lot stronger all the way around. They will bolt up just like the 944 CV joint conversion that Andy posted in the classic section. They WILL REQUIRE MACHINING same as the 944 CV's. The bus CV is the same as the 944 with less articulation but 5 more degrees than the stock 914. In conclusion they will be overkill for a stock 914 but will let you use the 911 SC rear hubs and stubs along with the 915 axle flanges. The bus CV's are cheaper than the 944 and are easy to come by. Boot kits usually have everything you need for install except the 911 gaskets.
