Wanted: urq front strut/hub assemblies

[John Karasaki <johkar@teleport.com>]

I'm looking for urq front strut/hub assemblies for use in a 5 bolt
conversion on our 4kq.  As an alternate, I'm open to other suggestions for
converting the front to 5x112 bolt.

Some have done it by re-drilling 4kq hubs, but this doesn't leave much
material on a 4kq hub and is a one off solution.  I am wondering if the
early 5kt's (like '81-'82) had a hub that could through coincidental act of
God, just be pressed into the 4kq front strut housings.  Or possibly
someone out there has done something else?

There has been a few people that have done this conversion on their coupes,
maybe the conversion for the 4kq is the same?

Unfortunately, my spare parts do not include any early 5kt stuff.  Is there
anyone on the list that is in the parts business that could check this for
me?  Ideally, if one had a 4kq and an early 5kt replacement hub sitting
side by side, you could tell immediately if it would work.

Thanks in advance for any and all information (even wacky responses that
get the creative juices flowing).


Best Regards,

John Karasaki
