He was asking for length in inches...
He is an engineering student; he can do the math.
If something gets lost in translation, it is not my bag.
Any thoughts to which version was stronger, short versus long body ASCO/Aisin? I have both kinds on the shelf. I was guessing the long body kind has marginally stronger guts. Or better to use the short style because easier to find the matching birfs?

Correct!

I just saw a really clean 40 (prob a '75, no rear vent windows) that had Selectros sporting Sears branding on the outer knob. It said "Sears" in a checkered flag.
Wish I could have grabbed a picture!

Got a picture!
Looks like a deal was made between Selectro and Sears back in the day...

Just going back to this thread for some images. Unless I have this wrong, the FJ55s bound for the US (and maybe other markets) did leave the factory with the long-body ASCO lock-outs...

I was looking through the FSM scans for rebuilding the factory lock-outs and they call for MP grease. Is this a regular Moly based wheel bearing grease? Or other?
MP = Multi Purpose, I believe..
Either grease would work (regular Lithium-based or Moly fortified). The key to greasing lockout hubs is NOT to pack them full. At low temps, a hub full of grease will not lock. Lightly grease the various surfaces inside the hub.
And for the record, while Aisin hubs are 'stronger', I have never heard of a Warn hub blowing up in a stock FJ40. I had them on my 40 for many years with no complaints, except that they stuck out quite far.

Por supuesto!Given your avatar I'm surprised you didn't say< "A horse is a horse, of course of course..."
A couple of years ago I ordered a set of Aisan front hubs from CruiserCorps. I specifically asked if they were 6 spline. Of course when they arrived they were around 30 or so. Jeff at CruiserCorps. made it right by refunding my money and in turn (I was traveling to St. Louis later in the year for my daughters wedding) I made it right by returning the "offending" hubs to CruiserCorps. Not wanting to repeat this mistake, I would like to put new hubs on my '79. Is there a chart anywhere that states what spline count was used on various years? It seems I have seen three. Poser notes that a long hub was used up until '78, but he qualifies that with USA models. Mine is not a USA model, has power front FJ45 drums. I also see that my knuckles are one early and one later (measuring across the bolt heads). The hubs shown in the picture were for my '70. While the fine spline wouldn't work, they are pretty close to the same height and definitely shorter than what is on my '79.
Pull the dust cap off the drive flange and you will be able to tell if you have fine or coarse Birfs. Being a 79 they should be later short fine splines, but since you have two different pattern knuckles, and being in Ecuador, there is telling what you have until you look.
"No telling" is right on the money John Smith! These things are like old IH pickup trucks. You had to know what day and what shift they were built to know which GM, Ford or Chrysler parts they used that day!
