My 4a irs uses some sort of hybrid hub. Who ever did it (and it was done
about 1966) used a Datsun configuration but the bearings (inner and outer
are exactly the same). I was told that this unit was a datsun variety...
After going through the Fiche files at the local datsun dealer...We could
not find anything at all that resembled what I have.
the good news for me is that the bearing cost just under $5.00/ea and are
easy to get.
