B&S; I'm just trying to do a direct replacement for the oil type hub on my very stock 45 pickup with the usual 59 AB motor and stock type radiator etc. I have a couple of the stock hubs and haven't had any real problems but I don't want any problems either. I just think a sealed bearing type of hub is a far better choice. And yes, I do have the tools and capability to make one from scratch.

I hadn't thought of trying to use any type of stock hub from another vehicle. A picture and dimensions of the Corvair one would be appreciated.

Thanks.
