Electric Hubs to Manual Hub Adapters

[Radd Cruisers]

For 70 Series Land Cruisers and Prados that have the Electric Locking Hubs....

I was making conversion adapters that allows fitting of the stock Aisin hubs, or alternatively, the Warn or the Milemarker (lowest price) hub in place of the factory electric hub.

I was out of stock with no plans to make more, but demand has recently gone up again.

I am gearing up to machine pairs of these adapters - if you would like to pre-order them, I will offer them at a discount to what I had been selling them for previously ($225 CAD per pair as pictured = old price).

Hubs are extra - the Aisin hubs are the best ones to use, but the Warn are decent, and the Milemarker are good and have the lowest price point. These should be pre-ordered well ahead of time if you want hubs as they will take time to come in.

Let me know if you want some of these adapters.

Thank you,

John put me down for two sets of adapters and one set of Aisin hubs. I will shoot you an email. Scott

 

[SteveJackson]

I would be interested in two sets of adapters.

 

[OGBeno]

In for a set too John. Nice work.

 

[Radd Cruisers]

Ok, copy on Beno (1) and SteveJackson (2), and I got Eco 45 already (2).

Thanks guys, I'll let you know when they're off the presses...

I wonder if these could be 3D printed in the future instead of CNCd

Hi John,
if you are interested we have a 3D printer and it is currently the largest in Canada and can do many different materials including Ultem,

Also interested in a set, would they work with the 80 series 8" ?

I'm guessing material strength might be the concern, but I only know a tiny amount about 3D printing.

The 80 series doesn't need the hub adapters, and you can fit hubs on the 80 series with no modifications (except you have may have to contend with the center diff - the most common solution is to put in part time conversion kit).

Kind of correct:

1991-4/1994 birfs are a direct fit (238.5mm in length).

4/1994- EOP would need either earlier birfs (43405-60120) or would need to snap ring groove machined 5mm farther in on the stub shaft of the birfield (246.5mm on length).

The adapters are done now, and arrived about a week and a half ago at my shop - they look great!

I'm waiting for some of the small parts to arrive before I can assemble and put the kits together.

Noted.

I think that's all of them spoken for now.

Assuming which AISIN/ASCO are being used? I'm pretty sure there is direct fit hubs for both length birfs (fwiw I have 246/251mm listed for the OAL of 80 birfs?). AISIN has 16 different Toyota hub applications, some of those are the pu/4RNR IFS with small dia. shafts and several are the 100+ stuff with larger mountings studs but there are at least 8 different common "Hilux", "Land Cruiser", etc hubs with a few variations of height. I'll have to measure but perhaps the 76-79 "tall" hubs would have the correct length. My shop guru Olly drives a 95' 80 Series with AISIN's, I'll see which he used.

As a tangent, I just received 391 AISIN hubs on a pallet today. Anyone need hubs?

 

[OGBeno]

Non-US AISIN hubs: 43530-60042

The measurements are correct for the 80 series.

The tough-to-find ASCO long body hubs would work on the 80 series as well.

Your measurements or mine?

We have the 60042 in stock, it only differs in color from other apps. Unfortunately the long body is discontinued and they are discontinuing several other Toyota apps now too.

Mine. They are directly from Toyota and, well, measuring.

Correct on the long bodies. UNOBTANIUM and used ones command premium pricing.

Copy, I'll make a note to update that. That came from an old Mud thread but measuring standards have improved

I've got some NIB Toyota long bodies (not for sale) that I'm using to try and figure out if there is an AISIN application that will work. It might be the body from a Isuzu or Mitsubishi and the face and internal gear of a Toyota to get the correct spline specs.

Please put me on the waiting list.

Ok, is there a set up that will work with short body hubs with a new set of birfs? Will the 60 series fine spline work with a set of short body aisin hubs in a 70 series axle? Are all 70 series axles the same width? I can't remember now what all I used on my 40 series disk swap, but I think I used 60 series birfs with short body aisin hubs.

Do you have electric hubs?
