So I have replied with this

The Land Rover Discovery 2, 3 and 4 and Range Rover Sport 1999 on are 5 x 120p.c.d and 14mm studs, the Land Rover Discovery 1 and Defender is 5 x 165PCD with 16mm studs as far as I'm aware.

If you can supply the 5 X 120P.C.D in 10" x 2" offroad brake hub, that would be great and I will buy it, but I need to be sure, as I've been through this before and got supplied with the wrong hubs.

Thanks,
Baz.

We can only hope so Kelvin

If he can, I would assume he might get a flood of buyers

Are there Defenders with 120 PCD?

Edit: Also, what's the boss dia, boss length and what bearings does it take?

I would assume they are a common Ford HD bearing at the least, which is what my axle suits now, didn't ask that as yet, just seeing if they could do the hub with 14mm studs and not 9/16 first.

The length of the boss needs to be about 35mm. All the ones I have checked are 40mm (alko included).

All trailer spares will machine 5mm off the boss for $30 a pair. The measurements seem to work otherwise, even on a 200 mm dia hub.

I still need to supply the studs as he hasn't discovered metric.

He is not open on weekends and I am not able to progress this for three weeks due to work that pays getting in the way.

At that time he has agreed to take a wheel and make sure it all works before delivery.

That is if this thread doesn't come up with something in the mean time.

Peter, the guy I emailed has 14mm studs, short and long, give him a call.

I haven't had a reply as yet, I'm guessing he doesn't know there's a difference between the Disco 2/3/4 and Defender PCDs

Barry,

Will do. I actually spoke to him during the week about his hub caps and didn't think to ask as the web site is all about alko and I didn't seem to get a solution from them as a vendor.


Will let you know how I go.

Cheers PK

Stll no reply, I think my initial thoughts are correct and he thinks all Land Rovers have the same PCD, no idea why he thinks Defenders have a 120PCD.

Oh well back to the drawing board, shame Melbourne trailers don't do them anymore, my first set of hubs where 9 x 2" 120PCD with 14mm studs from them, when I rang them a while ago they said no to 10 x 2" hubs, I might try them again.

Have a look at these guys Peter, maybe give them a heads up that there are a few guys wanting 120PCD hubs for there D3/4 to put on their trailers.
