Type 1 Stub Axle & Type 2 Cv\'s

MikeM · 2004-03-12T00:47:29+00:00

Ok guys, just a query. I'm going to be useing a type 2 Gearbox in my latest Manx project. I would like to use type 2 CV's (or 181's) all round for there extra travel. I know I can get the stub axles modified to accept type 2 cv's, but is this a road legal mod? I know Wes has done it: http://www.offroadvw.net/bajawes/wes/aug_sep.html And I know Custom offroad can do it: http://www.customoffroad.com.au/pricelist.htm But custom offroad have a # beside the number which means "Off road use only" My Manx will be road registered and I want to do everything legally. So.. Is this an acceptable mod, will I be able to get this approved or will I have to order special stub axles from somewhere like aircooled.net that have Type 1 to type 2 CV stub axles? http://www.aircooled.net/new-bin/viewproductdetail.php?keyword2=SSJ0010 Any input appreciated. Thanks Guys

Also, I was just wondering. How would I go with the kmbi cv's just at the gearbox and type 1s at the stubs?? I don't suppose I will get as much angle, but will I still be able to notch my springplates? I don't want my bloody springplates bashing on the stops, but I want as much lift as I can and thoguht I might as well go the whole hog now.

Any thoughts?

Rightio
Thanks dudes

Next time you come to perth give me a buzz I have 2 bus CV's you can have and the same as Craig I can get your stubs done for $70ea. don't stuff with two of each type of CV's
Ps Its a pity there is no off road race in Dumbleyung this year or I would bring them down to you 😎

G'day, Chris is it?

Thanks for the offer on the kombi cv's but I already have four ready to go.

BUT 🙂 it would be awesome if I could get my axles done it Perth to save hassle. My baja is road licenced though>>would that be an issue?

Yeh, it is a shame that there was no rally. I am only just really getting into this stuff and I have only been once. Even then i didn't get to talk to anyone or have much of a look. One day. Was there a big rally on on the long weekend? I heard something about it.

Thanks mate, good news is the best.
