This seems like a no-brainer, but is there any reason not to just use regular allen head bolts (or hex head) to replace the torx or 12star female bolts that are stock on the CV joints? What about the stock wave washers, wouldn't a lock washer work just fine?

the Schnorr washer is conical, like a Belleville washer, in addition to being ribbed. the last set of CV bolts i got for the 911 came in as Allen although the ones in the car are triple-square. just make sure any substitute is at least the same grade as the specified fastener - 12,9; the 8mm fasteners used in the 914 are pretty highly stressed.
