Swing Axle to 930 CV Conversion

 

The CV conversion came about out of necessity after breaking axles on low power, as we were intending to make much more power we felt this had to be addressed.


We had heard of a similar conversion in the USA, but wasn't available to purchase at the time, so we came up with our own.

The conversion works in such a way as not to let the axles bind on the outer tubes, giving the axle a greater range of movement. This helps take away any unnecessary  stress on the gearbox.

Its made the gear change much smoother and faster as the gearbox is’t binding between shifts.
