Lockout hubs, who on SS sells them?

[ccf460]

I am taking the plunge for my bobber, going to buy lockout hubs. Does anyone know if any of our members sell them at a fair price to fellow ss members? I am leaning towards selectro, but who knows, it is not set in stone yet.

You may have to alter your lean. Selectros are getting harder to find these days.

Edit, looks like they are back on the market. Getting a little pricy though.

I had tried to get with AVM for their hubs and run them through my company. But it seems there's only ONE supplier for the US and they simply will not allow anyone else to import them. Such a shame.

tie6044 sells Ouversons I believe.

Clinton At C&C Equipment sells AVM hubs. He is a member here.

There is more than one source in the US, for the AVMs.

They're getting them from one supplier then... at least this is what I got from AVM directly.

I would like to know the total cost for the hubs shipped to the US from you
directly.

I have a set of uber cool Dualmatics that I have been saving for the deuce I no longer own. They are a somewhat primitive design so I wouldn't put them on a trail truck but they would be perfect for a shopvan or the likes. I need to figure out a price and get them in the classifieds or Ebay. One pic compared to a Jeep hub.

197th,
I was hoping we had a member that would give a little discount to fellow ss members, like you did on the items you sold me. I am not saying a huge discount,
but it would be nice to knock off the the ebay 3 or 4 % at least for not even buying on ebay. Clinto might ,I haven't talked to him. These things are horribly over priced to begin with, you would think there is a fair to heavy profit margin???

 

[Fredo Corleone]

Try jatonka

 

[tie6044]

I can get you Ouversons, they are $635 for the pair, no tax and I pick up the freight.

That was the entire reason I wanted to try to import them. Just to help out SS members.

I went down the same trail as you Drew. I have been searching everywhere to find nice but more affordable hubs to sell. No luck yet but I'm not giving up.

 

[FormerNewMVGuy]

I beleive Jatonka sells the AVM's, he always has em at the shows!

Everyone has to make a profit or you wont stay in business. I set my profit after ebay fees. If I dont have to pay the fees. I don't have to charge you as much and I still make the same profit. I just think its good business. Because it keeps people coming back.

Tracking said your parts were delivered today. I'm glad they came before Saturday for you. I hope you got some work done on your truck.

[ccf460]

Yes,the parts came today. Thank you so much for getting them out so quick. If we don't a heavy call volume tomorrow at the fire station, my deuce axles will hopefully be leak free!!!!

I bought some Selectro lockouts in December I think. The cheapest place I could find them was truckandwinch.com that had them listed for about $500, I ordered them and they cancelled my order saying they couldnt get them but I suspect they realized their cost was probably higher than the listed price they had on the website. I called up Summitracing.com (who had them listed for $850ish) and asked about their price matching, gave them the website where they were listed cheaper and summit matched the $500 truckandwinch.com website price. They are overpriced however, I like the look of the Selectro but I think a pair of them should sell for $250-300 considering the few simple parts that they are made of. The Ouverson's are probably worth what they charge given the machined components and bearings. If I did it over I'd probably buy Ouversons from Tie6044.... a better product from a stand up guy.

 

[ccf460]

Tie6044,
The hubs you are offering, are these the cast or billet(super 8's)?
Thanks

 

[tie6044]

They are the stock cast ones.

Would someone be willing to lend a set that I could have duplicated by my CNC guy? He loves challenges like this.
I would be willing to put a deposit or something on them if needed, I understand I'm new here so some may not feel comfortable
lending such expensive items.

I don't think I was clear in this post, I was refering to seeing if my CNC guy could duplicate these at a cheaper rate and offering
these to members, I wasn't wanting this just so I could have a copy made for myself.
I've never really seen a set in person, I've only dealt with 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks in the past, those are cheap enough
so duplicating them wouldn't be worth the trouble, but at about $600 a set I think he could do a lot better.

After reading it over I should have been clearer.
Thanks,
