Brand spanking new, allegedly for an AMC 20 differential.  As to trying to match the depth and other specs of the existing hub, I'm not sure that matters.  Without really digging into this, I think it is a mistake to assume that you have to have an exact replacement for the original hub.  There were components to retrofit the disc brake setup for the original hub, there may be components to retrofit the disc brake setup for this hub.  :shruggy:


Won't work as is.   That's for a Jeep CJ.  Lug bolt pattern is 5 on 5 1/2".  AMC cars are 5 on 4 1/2".  You might be able to machine the center down and re-drill the lug pattern.

Not worth that effort when he can get good used that will fit.


Agreed.  I didn't realize the Jeeps didn't use 5 on 4 1/2.  Once more, I learn something of value!
