D2 rim compatible trailer hubs

[roverdisco98]

I want to put compatible rims onto my camper trailer. Does anyone know of anywhere I can source some D2 hubs?

Redback will be along soon I'm sure.....in the mean time do a search as there are a few posts on this topic already.

I reckon it would be worth giving Triumph Rover Spares a ring. They are down your way and probably have second hand ones. If not they probably know where to look, or what else to use.

It's not that straight forward fitting D2 hubs to a trailer axle........it's a major

You should be able to get new hubs with the D2 PCD (same as commodore??) you will have to shop around as soon as you mention land rover some trailer joints seem to switch off. They will come with imperial studs..... If you want 16mm studs than you either press them out and drill/press new ones in or by blank hubs and have them drilled to suit land rover studs.

Oh hang on just remembered there is something the the centering lip thingy which seems to create robust discussion amount the lads

That is a simple question that may require a very complex answer!

What hubs are on the trailer now?

See if you can post a photo as the answer will depend on your bearing setup.
I have ALKO parallel and the only way to fit D2 wheels is to use adaptors ( from RRC PCD) as the bearing housing is larger than the hole in the centre of the D2 wheel.

But it should be easier with a hub with smaller bearings.

Some trailer parts suppliers can drill hub blanks to any pcd spec, and use the studs of your specification. I have a D1, and wanted to have common wheels to minimise spare wheel, they drilled a blank brake drum with the D1/RRC pcd and same studs. The drum uses standard Holden bearings available anywhere. Why couldn't you do that for a D2?

As above it depends on the hub. The ONLY way with ALKO parallels is the RRC/D2 adaptor. I had my ALKO 10 inch electric parallel hubs fitted with D1 /RRC studs easy peasy but D2 is a very different matter.

Thanks guys, I might start with TRS and see where it goes. As with everything Land Rover its not as easy as it seems.

Talk to Martins Trailer Parts,Bayswater WA.
They made a custom set for me with electric brakes and matching track axle.MOST HELPFULL PEOPLE!!!!
I had to supply my own wheel studs,100 Series Landcruiser.
The Cheapest place you will find the cruiser studs is Don Kyatt spares.Toyota wanted $14 EACH:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:,I paid around $3.00 each!!!!
A google should get you both companys.

These days it's easy. I got a set of hubs for my trailer last year from Trailer Parts as mentioned by LandyAndy.

The d2 stud pattern/PCD (5x120) and stud diameter/thread (14X1.5 mm) are the same as the VE Commodore, so any proficient trailer parts place should be able to make whatever you need.

Depending on the rim you are fitting you may have to source appropriate wheel nuts.

Good stuff Steve.
Mine were made along time before the VF dunnydoore.
Have seen a P38a with VE SS dunydoore rims,looked OK.
