help with c.v joints PLEASE!!!

[meritvalver]

hi guys, my n/s outer c.v is knackered on my xe nova with f20 box. I also have an f16 sitting in my workshop with shafts so have been thinking about fitting this or maybe just getting a new c.v for the setup i have. F16 shafts have 32 spine outers atm ( if i counted right lol) . Can anyone please explain exactly what i would need for the f16 box and shafts to fit and also what outer i need for either of them to fit in my standard hubs? I like the idea of the f16 as im more interested in acceleration than top end but dont want too much hassle to fit it. Whatever route i need it sorted quick as i can see a breakdown on the horizon :roll: lol. cheers guys

unless their 'motorsport' shafts im sure you use standard nova outer's

[swedge]

you need cav inner cv's for both of the gearbox's and standard nova outers, that is if you are using standard hubs

[meritvalver]

yeah using standard hubs, so if i just slap some nova outers on the f16 shafts everything will fit fine yeah?

[Iain]

What do you mean F16 shafts? Are they Nova shafts?

[swedge]

no you use nova gte/gsi/td shafts with cav inners and nova outers

[meritvalver]

no they are the shafts that came with the box out of a cav.

[meritvalver]

so i wll need td/gsi outers then? would that also be what im running with the f20 in atm? Sorry if im being thick i just havent dealt with this part of the conversion yet lol.

[Vausey]

yes it will. as there on nova hubs? so i presume unless you have uprated the front hubs, they will be nova ones. ie

f16box-cav inner cv's-Shaft-nova outer cv's...

if that makes any sence lol....:thumb:

[meritvalver]

yeah ive got it now, just wasnt sure what outers i needed, just normal nova ones or the td/gte shafts lol. How long before i end up needing to put the f20 back in then? or are the f16's not too bad strength wise unless you abuse them?
