Early 911 shafts are 1mm larger in diameter.
Even amoung 914 there are different lenght. Shafts. You may need to extend the crosscut for the the bolt to prevent binding of the shaft. After installing turn the wheel to make sure there is no binding.

When first driving my GT car I had a bind in each rotation of the steering wheel.
After plenty of disassembly of the newly assembled car I found the issue.
There are two different length steering shafts, the longer one is 358mm and
as I recall the shorter is ~352mm. Another difference is the shorter one has the
recesses for the cinch bolt 'in line' On the longer shaft they
are not in line
I removed the long one, installed the shorter one...problem solved.
The issue could have been from one, the other, or both differences.
A load was bearing on the universal joints.
