I purchased some new '914-6' CV joints from a classified ad here on the board, and when I compared the new ones to the old, I found some "minor" differences. The biggest of those is that my original joints used two rolled pins and 4 allen bolts with a plate. The rolled pins are a bit larger diameter than the bolts. The new joints I received have 6 holes, all the same diameter, as if they might have used 6 allen bolts and no rolled pins. As I see it, I can remedy this problem in two ways: drill out two of the holes to accept the rolled pins, or get an adapter made that is the smaller diameter to fit into the cv joint, and the larger to fit into the flange and axle stub. I do have a drill press to accomplish the first option, but its probably older than I am, and I'm not sure how precise I can be with it.
Anybody got some advice on how to proceed?
Thanks
