The synchros in the 914 transmission were the same as in the 911 (and other Porsches.) Not like the brass ring and cone that is more common (and used in VW transmissions.)
You're probably right about the half shafts. However if I search for parts, all of the ones I can find show a 6 bolt CV joint for the 914.
- everybodyknows 3y ago> 6 bolt CV joint I was referring to the wheel bolts.
- HankB99 3y agoOh. In that case the hub assemblies are probably VW, but the spindle itself would probably be Porsche (since I don't recall VW ever using 6 bolt CV joints.) But the overall point that the 914 was a mix of VW and Porsche bits is absolutely correct and in fact some pretty significant parts such as the engine were VW. I suppose that goes back to the first Porsche which was derived from a VW.
