I'm going to replace all my cv joints and all the hardware (bolts, etc.) except the half shafts.

What are the best replacement parts and where should I get them?

Thanks.

As far as I know the CV joints are NLA. Many have been forced to get creative with using 944, 911, VW axles. I bet Eric Shea could hook you up with what you need

Randal, contact Mike Mueller to set you up with everything you need.

Buy 914-6 complete axles (with CV joints) while you still can.

Otherwise, there are VW CV's that fit the 914-4 axle shaft splines. Those need 2 holes redrilled for the pins.

Boots and bolts could be had at most of the typical suspects. (I heard that Dr. Evil sells bolts)

Get Dr. Evil's drilled bolts for safety wire.

Randal,

I have modified brand new Type I CV's for my 914..so far 0 miles on them but I have spoken to someone running the same units on his V8 914 with no problems.

You could do the 944 CV joint upgrade (larger diameter), however I think you'll need some special parts (SirAndy knows what is what)

more Mickey Mouse Engineering from Mueller

Looks like you might have a good gig there Mike. Everyone will need those eventually. I remember working out in the garage when the kids were napping. Oh please sleep a little longer. How are the girls? I bet they are really growing

Ah, it was Mueller that I was thinking about. He is good too

Say I was able to find a set of 914-6 complete axles. Anything required before bolting them up?

Thanks.

Calling Andy, Calling Andy...

What do you have to do to the 944 CV's to make them work Andy???

Thanks,

Randal

944 five lug conversion:

Part III
Part II

I can't find part I.

914-6 CV joints have been NLA for DECADES. If you found some, you'd also need the axle shafts. The Cap'n

how much HP?

944 axle setup is simple...

pre 74 911 hubs, 944/951 stubs, 944 cv, modified 914 axle, 944cv, 915 coarse spline output flanges from a 75-77? iirc...
