Then there are conversion cars like mine that have engine/transaxle set back. This builds in CV angles before motion. After checking all my CV's this summer, noting how far to the outer limits the cage body was wearing, and reading through this post I think I may be hyper extending my joints a little more than most. I think I may need to look at 930 joints in the future.

QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Oct 28 2010, 06:13 AM)  I think I may need to look at 930 joints in the future. Yep. The only thing about angles more than 5 degrees is that it costs horsepower... which is lost as heat, the increase of which shortens the life of the CV. It's one reason I'm hesitating to flip one of my 915 transmissions to use in the 914. It places the flange about 5 in. above where it was. Unless the motor is lowered by the same amount, the deflection angle is pretty extreme. Too bad, I like the ring out by the side-cover! Sooo much nicer for carrier/R&P changes. But I digress. |

Just FYI, stainless is pretty soft, not very brittle. ( at least most grades ), think it would be fine myself.

Even though our engines are type 4,, I NEVER said that those were the CVs we had in our car.(I assumed the maximum angle of a 914 CV is like that of a T4) 914 CVs are dimensionally the same as the T1 mentioned in the 101 site. 914 CVs are some bastard creation that are NLA. I mentioned that the T2 CVs were considered a "drop in" upgrade to the T1 CVs which the good folks here have been modifying to work for us. Just have to check the spacing of the T2 CV mounting holes to make sure they are the same as T1. As far as "sigma phase embrittlement" concerns, don't use SS for the pins,, the harder the metal the easier it is to snap. -Robert [/quote] Robert, Please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to imply that you indicated T4 Cv joints go with T4 engines. That was an assumption I made. I wasn't even aware that there so many different joints. The site you listed is very helpful, but for me was confusing. My joints are going on a mildly tune restoration so I'm not very concerned about over stressing the Type 1 joints. Thanks for your help and input. Joe |
