94 Hzj73 avm hub lock installation

[iMathYou]

Hey all I've run into a problem that I hope I can get some guidance on.
I'm converting my factory electric hub locks to manual avm hubs. They are avm 463 which is the hubs that I was directed to from this forum and also by the part supplier.

The problem occured when lining up the dowel and the fixing bolts, when the hubs are sitting on the dowel the holes didn't line up with the bolts. Is there anyway way around this? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Bolt holes not lining up when lined up on the spline

Did a search,
They do "bolt on and go".
My vehicle used 4 studs and 2 pins (the pins are RIGHT next to 2 of the studs) for the electric locking hub housing to mount up.
The manual hubs have 6 hole locations and 2 recess locations for the pins.

In addition to the 4 studs and 2 pins, it also has 6 off-set threaded bolt holes BETWEEN the 4 studs and 2 pins (a total of 12 holes each side), I made an attempt to check and see if the 6 empty bolt holes lined up with the new gaskets (and subsequent manual hubs).
They did seemed to line up, it's difficult to be certain as I left the studs for the electric hubs in place.
That being said, I think if you pulled the studs and two pins you should be able to make use of the 6 off-set holes with the new bolts (6 each side and the new cone washers) in the box and have little or no problems doing that. (Again, it looks like those off-set holes line up).
On my vehicle, using the 4 bolt set-up (remember the manual hubs have 6 holes) there are two bolt holes that don't have threaded hole under those locations, Toyota simply didn't put holes there.
(The electric hubs didn't have the two additional holes, just the 4 bolt pattern and 2 pins).

I opted to simply use the studs and pins the electric hubs used and leave to 2 additional bolt holes on the manual hubs empty.
I reasoned if it was good enough for the electric hubs why not the manual hubs.
Copied from a search on this subject.
