I've got a few to spare. I really picked these up because the guy at the junkyard didn't know what to do with them and didn't charge me for them.

So since I'm sure someone would like them, and I'd like to raise some money for the FJ-35LV project (https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj45-owners-club/218909-land-cruiser-junky-could-really-use-our-help.html), I'll sell a set of Aisin Hub faces.

These should be interchangeable with any Aisin Hubs you've got (Land Cruiser, mini, etc...). I blasted them to bare metal, and powder coated the outer ring black, and the dial red. I also will have applied white paint to the raised lettering (except the "Aisin" in the center of the dial). I'll ship two complete faces, along with new Marlin (or Toyota--your choice) seals installed, with the assemblies assembled (and greased). All you need to do is take apart your hubs, and transfer the follower pawl and internal guts to these faces (it takes about 5 minutes--very easy to do).

Here is what is included:

But here is what they look like installed on clean hub bodies and with fresh bolts. Note that these pictures are before I have painted the raised lettering on the dial white--the lettering is bare metal in these pics, but will be white by the time I send them out.

<EDIT>Since the FJ-35LV project is done, I'll just do them and charge for them myself. Here's the new prices (yeah, they went up a bit).
$35 for the hub faces You send me your two hub faces, and I'll rebuild them, including new O-rings from Toyota.
$50 for the whole hub You send me a complete set of hubs, and I'll rebuild the faces, plus clean, regrease and reassemble the hub body itself.
--The only things you've got to supply yourself are the felt gaskets, available from either Toyota or Marlin
$10 for freshly plated bolts Yeah, the original hub face bolts (6 per side), but replated and new looking.

I'd rather not do the core exchange thing, because if someone has a set of perfect faces, I don't want to send them back a set with a bit of rock rash on them. But I can probably work with you a bit on that if you need to minimize your downtime if it's one you drive a lot. Once I receive a set, it's about a week to get them back in the mail to you, depending on my work schedule (and how motivated I am to do more bodywork on the 40 ;) )

I'm also open to different colors (I'm sure I could find the gold color for the later models) or solid faces (without the lettering in white). PM me if you're thinking about it. I've had inquiries, but nobody has pulled the trigger yet on okaying the experiment of ordering the gold powdercoat. The blue came out nicely though.

Anyone have a source for those bolts other than $OR? I've got some hw store screws in mine that look ok, but...

I went to the junkyard and pulled them off of every Sammy and Montero with Aisin hubs that I could find. Then I sent them to the platers. There are different types (most of them have the 7 in the center, with the single washer), but they all work.

You can get the reduced head JIS bolts from REMCO bolt in Albuqeurque (they do mail order too), but not in the yellow zinc finish (which looking at Marlin's site may be the wrong finish, but I was sending bolts out to the platers anyway.....)

Like I said: there's quite a line. So anyone that I haven't already talked to should wait until I post up here when I get more in and ready to do some more.

I'm not made of hub faces people! :)

But here's a picture of one completed with paint on all the letters.

FWIW--the price for a new one is too low. Putting white paint on the letters on the dial is really, really hard. The metal is just porous enough to allow the paint to find it's way into all sorts of annoying spots.

But that's just me being super anal about things. They look good from a foot away. :)

M6-1.0x16MM Stainless Steel bolts can be acquired from Lowe's- these bolts hold the cover in place to mate with the hub body which replaces the "OEM prone to rust" bolts.

If you need the matching stainless steel washers look for #12. These hardware are also available at Lowe's.
