small dilemma

[fabr]

Tidbit of info from "The Samba" site if you should wish to just go buy some socket head capscrews at your local supplier.

" CV bolts are grade 12.9 "

Pay attention to that and do not settle for a lesser grade.

I was thinking if I could find some longer CV bolts I could thread them to the M10x1.5??

DO NOT do this!. Cut threads are very weak compared to rolled threads that are on high strength fasteners.

Me and master are talking about redrilling and taping new holes between the existing holes.

That is the grade I use and have 

Your right on the cut threads vs. rolled

works, but IMO does not provide a better sealed CV joint from the back side of the flange

I don't see an alignment ring on the outer edge of the flange, is this normal? I would think you would want one to keep the bolts from letting the cv walk around if they loosened up. just a thought!

That's why you have fill the old holes, so dirt/sand don't get into the cv joint.

Edge plans do not provide this part or have it in there plans with the ring. I have been puttin them on mine just recenty. Never did have an issue though without the ring.

fill them with sand     sorry could not help it

it's the little things that make things a hole lot better!

LOL!!!! Great mines think alike.

I agree totally on higher HP stuff for sure.100-150 horse it might not be a big deal but even then I'd not use a flange without the lip myself.

Per Turbo Busa, 10 psi boost, estimated 301 HP. = simple ring on CV cup.

Its not a difficult thing to add on if machining your own. Dont know why I never did it before. IMO the lip must also help with the "seal" and keeping the grease in the CV. Its amazing how that grease finds its way through those seams.
