G'day all
I'm looking at getting a new front housing made for the Mav.
It will have the GQ centre but will run 80 series balls, so i can have Longfields
.
How strong are the 80 series knuckles?, i can't seem to find after market knuckles to suit the 80 series, and keep the steering Engineerable.
It will be running Hydro assist.
Thanks in advance

Most people graft the GQ center into an 80 series housing. (looking through the Toyota threads...)
It is commonly done to Toyotas for the strength of the Nissan diff.

Anything is possible, it just comes down to time and money.

Here you go. I know Billy is working like crazy to make sure everything is correct before he releases these. The last time I spoke with him he said the testing is going very well

They ^ look like a much better unit than the marks adapters ones. Gives you more steering choice. The marks adapters ones are cast in steerings arms like a patrol.
