So it turns out I have plenty of asian hub parts but no actual complete hubs.
I do have a set of avm hubs. There missing a few bolts but no biggie.
Are they any good at all? (Running 34s locker and good gearing)?

I ran AVM's with 31 Extreme's, 6.5's and air locked front. Never had an issue with them at all with comp use as well.

I like the internals of them far better than the aisin spring set up

I had some for a bit. They worked. Just hated the little screws that hold the locking cap on.

Cheers guys. I will clean up and run them!

I had the sealed AVM hubs on my Vit, they were fine. Not being fully serviceable, one got some crap inside and started making horrible noises so I bought the shiny fancy ones. Broke them on it's first outing. I wasn't even doing anything difficult. Sent them back under warranty, had them fixed, Sold them.

What broke?

As far as I know AVM is a Brazilian OEM for several other brands - Mile Marker, Rugged Ridge & SuperWinch come to mind - and they are also used by several vehicle manufacturers as OE - I've had no problems with mine (and yes, I do have the "shiny" ones).

Not sure exactly, there was just a note saying, Fixed, tested ok.

I wasn't too impressed, but at least the after sales service from the peope i bought them off was good.

The single piece ones are very good i ran them for years. Ive seen a few patrols with the 2 piece ones stuff up snd the allen key bolts snap onsaid 2 pice ones also

[jonno_racing]

So I have mine off and soaking in some degreeser. There off a zook on 31s so I figure they must be ok.
What a pain to get off. Started with a allan key. Then torx bit tapped in then had to dill some + half of the bolts were missing to start with!
I have a pretty good idea how to fix this (will post up latter if it works.)
What's peoples opinions on hib bolts?
Should I ho grade 12 shcs from the start or go cheepies and replace track side?
