Distance from hub wheel flange to hub wheel flange?

[Longtimer]

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.

Hi Phil

I just bumped and old thread of mine.....

Hopefully somebody can post in here as well to confirm my measurement was correct.

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.
