strosek34 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hard to tell from pictures, you would need to measure them to compare properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevem Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 What makes you think that they could be the same Jonny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea boy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 They are 100mm PCD but are the splines the same? Who is going to splash 22 quid to find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Look very close match to me. Spark plugs are the same used in some Ford models too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea boy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Look very close match to me. Sierra; A GKN Lobro out of my shed, it says for 911, 930, 964. No mention of Sierra 1.3 GL. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Apart from minor colour differences that I guess are down to manufacturing process rather than spec it certainly has the same charactristics. Do GKN Lobro have a Sierra part listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tea boy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I can't find Sierra joint kits listed in the catalogue, only driveshafts and boot kits. Also just looked on the J&R site who are the manufacturers of the Sierra part above and they do not list any 911 parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestershire Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Compare like for like. How much is a set of GKN joints for a Sierra? GSF have special on ebay - GKN CV for a 911 at £34 per end. This chap seems to support the Porsche Ford link. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-FORD-ESCORT-CORTINA-CAPRI-SIERRA-GRANADA-PORSCHE-911-912-CV-JOINT-72GG4635BA-/260983042624?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc3cd3240 These are GKN parts http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CV-Joint-Kit-PORSCHE-911-73-83-/300772068951?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3APorsche%7CModel%3A911&hash=item4607698e57 Budget 911 CV Joint £18 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-911-3-2-Carrera-964-993-928-CV-Joint-Boot-Kit-/350721598041?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51a8a2e259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I have are the later 10mm bolt ones. I think SCs have 8mm bolts. Can't remember what size bolts the Ford uses. 'Budget' one is only boot kit.

World Citizen Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 CV joints don't come in many flavours off the top of my head there are only two sized joints used size 15, 108mm OD, 32mm thick, 94mm PCD, 6x 10mm bolts, this is used on 930, and maybe G50 gearbox cars,964, 993 models size 13, 100mmm OD, 32mm thick, 86mm PCD, 6x 8mm bolts, used on all other IB 911 models I'm sure yours will be a size 13 but please do your own checks, I have a pdf I can send which will give you all the dimensions you will need to check to make sure The change in colour on the joint is surface hardeneing and I would only use GKN Lobro joints as all the cheap joints will be made of chocolate or cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Hart Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 What makes you think that they could be the same Jonny? Just stumbled across a couple of items on eBay with Ford and 911 in the title http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-FORD-ESCORT-CORTINA-CAPRI-SIERRA-GRANADA-PORSCHE-911-912-CV-JOINT-72GG4635BA-/260983042624?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc3cd3240 And then this: http://www.prolinx.biz/Driveshaft_prices.htm As WC says, there seem to be just 100mm and 108mm commonly available, both made by GKN Lobro. The GKN catalogue has a slightly different part # for XR4i and 911 but this could just be down to style of boot. I might take a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevvy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Love those lightweight ones, could you not just do that to a normal one? Cant be much more than a few mins on a lathe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea boy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 size 15, 108mm OD, 32mm thick, 94mm PCD, 6x 10mm bolts, this is used on 930, and maybe G50 gearbox cars,964, 993 models Yes, it is also used on late 915 cars too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
