A while back I bought the modified type 1 CV's. Just getting to think
about installing. Look at the pic where the outside is machined down. (This is not the modification for 914, this picture is from online of normal type1 CV.)  I can't really show it with a picture, but the flange is built to the larger diameter, so it doesn't match with the machined area. This seems stupid. I guess when bolted down it should still retain the grease, but why is it like this? |

Thanks all, I'm pretty sure these are the pmbperformance.com
ones. I'm going with the McMark way for installation, in fact I don't think it's even possible to do otherwise. Not only would the gasket have huge overhang on the thin side, also the pin holes are only drilled out on the thick side. |
