Anyone got any links or suggestions about modding auto hubs to manual?
There's nothing in the GQ/GU bible threads and the search function only brings up shit. And will MQ manual hubs fit a GQ or GU? I have a pair sitting here somewhere.
Any tips would be great.

Re: Modding Auto hubs to Manuals
cant help you with MQ hubs fitting a GQ/GU. But auto hubs can be manually locked.
And GQ/GU are interchangeable and easy to do. Just a matter of unbolting the auto hubs and bolting on the new ones.

Re: Modding Auto hubs to Manuals
My main concern was about modifying the auto hubs to make them manual locking. I've seen a thread before which I can't find now that shows which bits to remove from the auto hub to make it manual, E.g. 'Auto' becomes 'Free', and 'Locked' stays 'Locked'.
I know the auto and manual hubs are interchangable but I only have a spare set of MQ manual ones to try (when I find them) but I think I remember reading that they don't fit for some reason.
How strong are the modded auto hubs? Do they blow out like the factory manual hubs?

Re: Modding Auto hubs to Manuals
the internal spider gear wont fit, but the outer part of the hub will.
I had a set of auto hubs on my ol girl and loved em. If I could get a set of new ones I would. Although the manual hubs are stronger than the auto ones.
