I just plugged the OEM CV joint part # into Sunset Porsche's web site and got a hit ($73.64). So these are available again? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
https://www.sunsetporscheparts.com/oem-part...int-91433202903 EDIT: Don't Order these! What you get are 25-spline joints which appears to be the part for a 914-6. They won't fit on /4 axles. For more detail, see http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2698908 |

I have decided I am just going to use lobro type 1 CVS and just machine the gasket area .. It will be pretty straight forward and fairly inexpensive..

The body is only moderately hard, and the ball track area is flame hardened. |

The body is only moderately hard, and the ball track area is flame hardened. Today I assembled driveshafts with four of the modified Type 1 joints that Chris marketed in the past. The modifications were done beautifully. They're going in my project car with a fresh 2.0 6 cyl. I hope the reports of early wear prove wrong. Has anyone ordered or purchased the available 914 6 assemblies ? |

Has anyone ordered or purchased the available 914 6 assemblies ? I don't know if there is any "early" wear or not. I haven't taken them apart yet. I can only report that without the recess of the gasket they will sling grease without sealing them really well. I could be that the "early" wear is caused by the grease being slung out....causing early wear. Since you have a set by Chris with the recess....should be good to go...don't look back and drive it like you stole it. |
