I hope this is a simple question..
I'm trying to find out what the difference in spline count is on the 914-4 ver 914-6 torsion bars. I have a 1975 914-4 and want to go to 21mm but it seems most suppliers have mixed the 914-4 with the 914-6 and the 6's don't fix on the 4's splines. thank you in advance with your answers..

The twisting on a torsion bar effectively is one way on one end and the other way on the other end. (Holding one end still and twisting the other.) So flipping the ends gives you the same directions of twist.
Think about a nut and bolt. Thread the bolt into the nut. You turn it clockwise, right? Then take it apart, turn it around, and thread the nut onto the bolt. Clockwise again! That's basically the same deal. --DD |
