86 9KT CV joint hell.

local and national rebuilders have turned me down on rebuilding, one local guy messed the other driveshaft up in the past, Worldpac has (partly because of me) decided to drop carrying early 9000 CV joints altogether, etc, etc.
following the advice here, I ordered a new outer joint from eEuroparts.com...
This new outer joint is listed at eEuroparts.com as "for ANY 86-87 9000"
Well, it won't fit the shaft.

it's simply the WRONG joint. Hub/stub axle spline size/pattern is WRONG.
I'm waiting to here back from them, but at this point I have doubts that they are going to come up with anything encouraging.
Were there variances in the hubs used on early 9000s?
Would a non-abs car have a different hub than an ABS car??
Perhaps they gave me a 900 joint? Maybe a later 9000 joint?
I'm running out of options here --- does anyone have any other axle / joint resources for my '86 9KT???
The car is in pretty perfect shape with very low mileage (90,000) so I really want to pursue this and get the car back together.
thanks all!
