1991 Prado Hub Conversion

[theredcanuck]

Fellas, I have a 1991 Prado LJ78 in the sick bay. It has the auto hubs, which are o longer engaging. I was hoping to source out a kit tobreplace with manual? Any advice?

I have a set of adapter plates to go to Aisin manual hubs I want to get rid of, no hardware.
P.M me

If youre the least bit mechanically inclined, you can have a look at my thread on the conversion to manual using all the stock bits and a few nuts and bolts. Pretty easy and reliable. Do a search cant remember what i named the thread.
Cheers

would it not be possible to replace the hubs to say a hilux hub or 60ser hub that already has the manual locking mechanism?

Swap everything from the spindle out from a 60. Keep the caliperz, but i think its a slightly different brake rotor.
