I found a set of these hubs at the local wreckers this morning. I've never seen a set for a sierra before. They were fitted to a 1L hardtop. Just curious to know that they're like compared to the standard aisin hubs, they seem pretty solid.

I've never seen them on a sierra but we did have an old mq trayback work ute that had them and they held up to plenty of abuse and never gave any trouble

I've seen a fair few series land rovers with those, might have even been standard/dealer fitment on S3s? I'd search up on aulro and see if there's anything on them there.
Type 1 1ls didn't have free wheeling hubs as standard and for some reason FWHs where the thing to have in the late 70s/early 80s so a lot of them wound up with random aftermarket ones.

That makes sense. I just thought they looked kinda cool compared to the standard aisin ones. They seem common as a dealer option on land cruisers too.

You've just got a floater for nothing if I can have them. I want them more more than a kidney- and I really need my kidneys.

We had a set around the place years ago, off an old 1 litre ute that passed through the house, as said common on Landies, fitted in the late '70s and '80s. Not sure if they're still around though.
