General consensus is unless you planning on swapping the axles, ASIN Hubs and adapter plates are the way forward. ok, they are freewheeling and you have to physically lock / unlock them, but highly regarded in the SJ world

going rate for a pair (with the cone washers) is about £40 and then you need martin's adapter plates and longer bolts.

so why would you rate ASIN over the AVM hubs on jimnybits?

Cheers for you help so far

the AVM hubs look very nice. To be honest Ive not heard anything good or bad about them. ASIN are more readily available, and given their relative cheapness, I suppose it depends on the depth of your pockets and if the AVM's are really any good or not.
