The hub in that photo looks just like the Associated narrow right hub, only natural instead of blue. It looks like there's more graphite sticking oout oof the bearing than with the standard width kit hub, so the 4555 will probably be too short, but according to Associated, the 4609 DOES have the lip you need to use it flipped with the thrust bearing, so you'll be all set.

Here's a picture of a bmi narrow right hub... njote how they narrwed it at the wheel flange, but kept the width at teh bearing the same... this one would work with a standard size cone... the Associated hub (and the one in Canuck's picture) is narrower everywhere asnd needs the wider cone to work...
