Re: 80 series, aisin hubs, longfields, part time kit etc

There is only one style aisin FWH, you need to either get part time 80 cv's or regroove and shorten the full time c/v's.

Putting a spacer between the hub gear and circlip does not work.

Re: replacing radius arm -chassis bushes

Genuine toyota, every time, the bushes arnt cheep but they flex more the nolathane and there is plenty of 80s out there with over 500,000 on the original bushes.

If you want to save money, use nissan GQ at the diff end, they fit and are $25ea cheeper than the toyota.

You use your stock chassis cross member bolts, use the standard transmission mounts on the t-cases and we supply counter sink screws for the mounts to keep it smooth to help slide.
