CV kits and adapters $1490 with
standard adapters or $1690 with dog
type adapters When
we wanted best quality CV sets for a
very heavy duty competition
application we purchased some CV
conversion set's and
these did not meet the requirements
for extreme competition use. As a
result we have commenced manufacturing
CV conversions of highest quality with
reduced tolerances compared to others on the
market. The
reasons our CV sets are better are
detailed in the table below-

| Theirs |
Ours |
| EN36
or 4140 steel used |
Tougher
4340 steel, heat treated to our
specification. Shafts are
plated and de-embrittled.
|
| Shafts
have up to 3.5 degrees radial
movement on splines, causing
spline impact and potential
shearing with on/off throttle |
Shafts
are custom made for CV resulting
in less than 0.5 degrees radial
movement with shaft push fit on
spline. |
| 6061T6
alloy adapters for CV shafts.
Alloy is soft for application
and can pull threads needs
Helicoils to strengthen threads |
7500
series aircraft frame grade
alloy used that is as tough as
steel. |
| In
conventional CV adapters, the
diff inner bolts transmit the
drive in single shear, also the
wheel stub axle adapters use the
same method. These commonly come
loose in competition use.

Datrats
CV adapters use a recessed
square dog to transmit drive. With the
dog action, the bolts are
only used to locate adapter on
the dog. These drives are used on both
inner and outer drive shafts.
This is our own registered
design and is not available
elsewhere.
