Hey champ, so what is the LJ scene like in USA, they are geting hard to find over here in Australia.

Some of my growing collection

[j860112]

You got some nice looking lj Suzuki. Not to many here in the states they were not sold here in large numbers until 1986. Would you have a brake drum laying around in your spare parts by chance would really like to git my lj80 back on the road thanks, JIM

brand new $195.00

[j860112]

Do not want a new one going to cut it up and they want $195.00 plus $135.00 shipping a little to much for me

[2stroker]

What do you mean when you say "cut it up"

[hutch]

OK I have given all my old ones away. The only one I have is on the steel scrap heap, it has been cut through the spline section. sorry.

Its for there disc brake conversion using standard CVs as 1 litre CVs are not very easy to obtain in america. Meaning impossible

beyond impossible none anywhere I guess its the same for lj80 front drums also. Seems like someone have an old drum laying around. Kinda in a hard place right now cant find a drum and no sammys around to steal a front axle assy off of. Anyone have any suggestion on I how I can repair this lj80 front thanks. JIM

It would probably be cheaper to get someone to send you over a few 410 CV's, and then use Samurai swivel hubs. Surely with a bit of hunting around you can get yourself a Samurai front diff.

I do have some front drums, but they are in good shape, and sorry I don't want to see good ones get hacked up.

There is a write-up on converting to the Samurai disk hubs HERE. All you will need to find are 1.0lt/SJ410 CV's which will be lighter and smaller to post than an LJ brake drum/hub. I'm sure someone here might help you out to find a pair.

Ok dose anyone out there have a pair of s410 CV,s

[303zuke]

Brand new ones available HERE and HERE. The pictures look like stock photos of generic CVs, not specifically SJ410.

Samurai front axle in the States listed HERE. OK, it is the opposite side of the country, but they're definately available, probably much closer to you.

Yes you gave me a source they where 49.00 each and 125.99 for shipping and the other source for the 1988 axle the axle was the houseing only did not include the parts I need for the change the total would have been over 500.00 and still would not have all the parts I would need sorry I am just poor old retired army guy I cant afford to spend that amount the whole lj80 cost less than that but thanks for the help anyway j860112

Well, postage on a second hand LJ brake drum won't be any cheaper than a pair of CVs, they're a solid chunk of iron.

[3cyl]

I have some old drums here but surely the cost of postage would be more than they're worth? On my LJ50 I originally used 410 CVs but found them hard to get and easy to break, (lockrights don't help). Atm I'm running 1.3 CVs with heat treated 4140 custom shafts. There are 2 sets here, 1 has strengthened CVs and 1 has normal ones. Soon I'll have CrMo CVs with 26 spline shafts to go in and will probably sell the old ones. One set have never been used the strengthened ones have only done a thousand k's or so after all it is an LJ50..
