Arthur-
Yes, I know the best solution would be to buy your hubs. I wish I could,
'cause they do look real neat. But, I simply don't have $525 to spend on
this truck, and besides, I don't plan to off-road it hardly at all. May
someday, when my wife gets over the fact that I spent $3000 on the thing, I
will be allowed to spend some more money on the truck, but that won't happen
any time soon.
My original plea still stands - I need a spare set of original M35 hubs to
modify.
Thanks -
Mark
