I 'm guessing it might be parts for an optima actually. They are interchangeable

you are right Erik........:)

the C-hubs of 870c & optima are 95% similar........the only difference is that the optima one got a caster angle........while 870c got zero caster........:)

spare parts interchangeability is one of the beauties of vintage Japanese buggies......... 8) .......another word ...... they were copying each other......... :lol:

the thread screw hole on the front surface........is for anchoring the front shock end in optima series............as you know........optima's front shock ends were fixed to the C-hubs instead of the arms.........:)
