    Distance from hub wheel flange to hub wheel flange?

    G'Day Gents,

    Does anyone know the distance from the outside of the hub wheel flange to to same point on the other hub wheel flange, across a diff?

    I am putting together a trailer, and thought it would be best to use the same rims and track as my Defender. Especially as it will be towing it.

    Thanks in advance.


    Cheers,

    Phill.

    Search under my user name.........pretty sure the measurement is correct.

    I'm guessing you won't be using defender stubs, guns and disc like I did......I ended up with a slightly wider wheel track as I used disco hubs which I believe are slightly different to defender.

    Can't easily search on my phone, but there is a thread started by Rijidij on county disk brake conversions. Pretty sure the dimension you are after was posted in that as there was a bit of discussion about track change.

    Thanks Gents.

    I will track down the info tonight. I hope.

    The track changes with your rim offset, so it is something to be wary of.

    On the last camping trailer I had, I had Series hubs and stubs to match. Along with series front springs and shocks.

    With this one, I don't have the dimensions at hand. Lost over the years. But I am looking at using a STD 50mm sq axle, with heavy duty trailer hubs with blank flanges and 12" electric brakes.
    As it needs to be a universal trailer, I need to be able to load it up.

    Maybe it will be easier to get LR hubs... And a custom axle.

    Cheers,

    Phill.

    G'Day Kevin,

    Your post of

    "ventured out to the car this afternoon to confirm measurements, not so easy as the stubs are covered by the hub

    i ended up taking both rear wheel off and measured outside hub to hub 1552mm

    steve's 1386mm flange to flange i am hoping is correct as i wasn't going to remove the hubs, it looks about right"

    I assume is the dimension you are referring to. Now please correct me, but I am just checking that that is the distance from outside of wheel stud flange to the same on the other side of the diff. Where the rims bolt up against.


    I can't be bothered going down the path of a a full set of spares on the trailer. I did that last time.... And never used them. Not even close. And the extra weight of the full spares set up just wasn't worth it. This time I want to use a commercial axle and hubs, with 12" electric drums.

    I can't be bothered stuffing around machining everything up this time to fit the brakes properly. Maybe if I make another camper one day.

    I will have a look for Steve's thread on Thursday night, jut to see what that says.



    Cheers,

    Phill.
