Was gonna reply on facebook but here now!
Do you mean the steering knuckles not the C-hubs? I think they're the same as the Optima Mid ones, the Optima Mid Custom are plastic as are the ZX-R. Dan |

The knuckle, fakes the front axle, not the C part - same as mid?

On page 166 of this thread Oosh modded some 3racing ones to fit:
I haven't trial fitted them but I am pretty sure Mid ones will work - James can maybe confirm? |

The knuckles are the same as the Mid and original Optima, part number OT-16, and were still being used on their touring cars through the 90s. There was a running production change, the early ones are cast alloy and later ones are plastic, but both are interchangeable.
They are also remarkably similar to a lot of touring car knuckles.

They are also very very low compared to modern knuckles. From what remember the are 19mm . Modern knuckles are 21 or 22mm.
the ot16s tend to strip their threads too easily . thats why i made my own c hubs that will fit in standard 22mm zx5 hubs which will last much longer. Ot16s are also very expensive now. |

Get some zx5 knuckles and cut/dremel the bottom screw section and hey presto job done.

I'm pretty certain the Custom was the only one to come with plastic

All Mids have alloy knuckles, it was a production change with the release of the ZX-R and ZX-Sport. Everything earlier, which is all Optimas, Mids and the Lazer ZX have alloy knuckles, everything after have plastic.

LA219 - 7 is what i found on google. Castor blocks dont work but a quick dremel to make both screw sections match in height and game on.

OT-16 became SD-032 after adding a second set of holes and is still used on the Spada
