CV Joint and Axle/Half Shaft Compatibility

Hello -

The current axle/CV setup in my '74 911 is stock; ie: stock '74 915 output flanges and stub axles w/the larger flanges and (4) 10mm bolts & 2-pin CV bolt pattern. The 915 I am replacing the stock one with (due to an engine upgrade) has 108mm (or is it 110mm?) output flanges w/(6) 10mm bolts. I know I can drill out the pins in my existing CV joints and replace them with bolts but as an alternative, could I replace the inner CVs only with this one: Porsche 911 & Carrera Axles & Bearings - Page 1

Is this the correct one and are the half shaft splines the same as my '74 half shafts? Basically, I'm trying to avoid buying entirely new complete axle assemblies and would like to know if CVs across different years can be fitted to different half shafts, and if this is the correct one for my application.

I tend to over think things so let me know if there is a simpler way.

Thanks a lot,
Tom
