Why Toyota CV's ?

G'day all,

I'm interested to know why JacMac insist on using Toyota CV's with their locker up front.

Why is this? I was under the impression they are weaker than the Rover CV's (early 110 and RR)

The 110 CV and toy CV have the same size star, bell, and cage except the toy has a larger 30 spline stub axle and a slightly smaller hole inthe centre of the star.

For strength the toy star would be slightly stronger and the rover bell would be slightly stronger (the rover bell is about 2mm bigger on the OD)

The biggest advantage is that the toy CV are much cheaper than the rover ones.

And the really big advantage is that you can get longfielded toy CV which are really, really strong.

Yes thanks Sam.

The big benifit I think is the ability to run longfields. but $$$$$$

then after a few RR cv's longs will lok cheap.
