No. 5 trailer track
Hi all, can someone tell me the axle flange face to face measurement for a No.5 please? (IE the actual track width from where the rims mount.)
I have been asked by someone who needs to work out some modification ideas. Thanks, JC

Thanks HEAPS guys!
 I had an associate with a few 2a bits in his shed lined up to measure for me but he is away So thankyou I'll pass the info on (I guess I should come clean at this point and mention that he is modifying the no5 to turn it into a fire fighting rig for his property, which involves an axle mod for extra weight, and a lowering of CG. Don't worry, it won't be completely altered  )JC

G'day Justinc
Those No5's will cope with 1TON quite well and 30cwt (1 1/2 ton) will get the springs to the bump stops (full load w/-hungry boards of Bluemetal) if it would be carrying that weight regularly, I would advise elect brakes,or LWB series rear units same as county/110 drum rears, (you could use over limit drums and 2nd O/s shoes), fabricating a backing plate mount should not be to hard, with a universal 1" drawbar mount M/cyl override or solenoid activated.cheers
