Gday All,
was looking at changing the hubs on my pioneer camper trailer to suit D2 rims, was told the commodore hubs will suit just need to get bigger wheel studs..
Unless I have looked at the wrong hubs, they are way smaller than the bubs on the camper at present, so if I change to these I will need to modify the brakes and the whole brake mounting...

It has the overrun style brakes, does anyone know if there are other options available.I did see some L/R hubs but they looked to big for the disco rims and at $170 each didnt want to get the wrong ones..

Any help would be great,
Thanks and Cheers

Ean

In a trailer like yours I would use parallel bearnigs axels and hubs
Look on the Martin Trailers site from WA or Vehicle components from Bris.
Myswag.org is a good site to get info as well

Hi Ean
Unsure if you have seen this thread.

If you use D2 steel wheels you dont need to butcher the centres of alloy rims as I did.
Martins trailer parts are VERY HELPFULL and send all over aussie.
ENJOY
