sj free wheeling hubs onto a jimny

as title, ive got a pair i want to fit to my jimny to get rid of the dodgy vacume hubs.

what size spacers do i need to fit them, ive been told 5mm by someone and 7mm by someone else

im confused now

Watch this space - tomorrow (Thursday)!!!

Martin

thanks Martin, will be checking back tomorrow, just browsing through your site, been a few new topics since my last visit

ohh and i forgot, do i need longer hub bolts, and ifso where do i get them?

thanks for taking the time to help Martin

No spacers necessary, just take off your wheel bearing nut using the correct tool, sold by Martin and Bits4Vits, stick the nut in a vice and cut it down by the required 5-7mm or further, it matters not, then do it back up to the required torque and fit a manual freewheeling hub off an SJ or Vitara.

No new parts needed, no cost.

I was given cut down nuts with some fixed hubs I bought when I bought my Jimny direct from KAP as I knew the problems with the vacuum operated ones. I have a set of freewheelers to take off our SJ410 before it gets sold and will put them on the Jimny.

Alternatively to cutting it up you could fit a set of these!!

Bigjimny SJ hub adaptors!!

New today, these are the protoypes hence they are blue and not plated, the real ones will be plated.



I will post "fitted" pictures later, this will also let me sort out the bolts required.

And while you are looking for Christmas gifts how about, bolt on steering damper brackets....



Or a bolt on rear recovery point.....

As you can see by the fact that it is plated, this one has emerged from prototyping. All soon to be in a shop near you!



More details later on once I have done a bit of spannering.
