Searching on behalf of a mate, saw this post and see the drive flanges were/are an option in aussie.

I know you can get a steel sleeve to stop them shock loading but for the price of that and a new set I can get some factory ones. Any way I know there sought after and hard to find but if any one knows of any please let me know.

If you're not running enough HP to regularly break CV's, then just fit drive-flanges...either genuine Nissan (from Nissan AU), or Brian Howat in Welly.
If you've got a decent amount of HP that will toast CV's, then use the hub as a fusable link.....as its easier to fix a hub in the bush than a CV anyway.
If you're into comps...then fit drive-flanges and chromoly CV's.
Anyone here have some? failing that looking for a set of decent FW Hubs, as Im sure the auto hubs currently used have been unlocking at the most $hitess time

I had howie make me a set about 4 years ago, cost $330 if i remember correctly.
The factory manual hubs lasted well on my old truck, i broke cvs but never had hub problems.

Doddzee (sp?) was selling some a couple of months ago I think.
Might still have them kicking around if you're lucky.

Dude, you just bet me to it!
Shit $330 isn't bad. Pretty much the cost of a set of normal hubs.

errr, they have no force hubs, just the factory auto, and are pretty sure they are unlocking.. Had a quick nosey at your website (4wdbits) couldnt find free wheeling hubs, can you PM?

The internals from the force hubs will fit chromolly outers available from Rick Crosby at 4x4 accessories in ChCh. I think they're $500 a pair...
