I want manual hubs as well. I have them on my faithful old Nissan and never found having to lock them outside by hand an inconvenience at all, but then I would rather have manual windows too... What is involved in switching the hubs? Can't be too tricky, or... :? Probably something I should just take to ccautos and get the change done at her fall tune-up, or maybe sooner... The autos I have now don't make any audible click on or off. The 4 high and low work fine and she switches back into 2 wheel. Permanently locked? And when I first tested the 4x4 the dash light flickered a bit then stopped altogether. I am assuming this is an issue with the wiring / bulb and don't really care if there is a dash-light to tell me I am in 4x4. More reason to get those manual hubs! :M

Bruce,

I may be able to work with you on this one.

I'll see what I can do on this end.

Bruce,

I'm sure they ship overseas. Give them a call.

I bought mine at summitracing :

comes out to $120 shipped.

If anyone gets them, just be careful with the allen bolts as they strip easily and don't overtighten the small screws holding the outer portion of the manual hub on.

Thanks for that Jesse,

From what I can make out, these will be around $200 shipped to the UK from them! ($25 handling fee and $75 shipping!!)

I was wondering if anyone could get them shipped 'inland' cheaper then post them out to me in a 'flat rate' box?

This is one of the companies that I have emailed a few times with zero response and also conacted them via this ebay listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 70365&rd=1 - again with no response :-(

It will be a while before I head down to WA again but when I do, I'll see what I can do for a lot shipping.

How many are you thinking of getting ?
