The stud pattern is easy,its trying to use landy alloy rims that causes grief.When I got my axle made up Martins Trailer parts were unable to supply metric 14mm studs.Toyota wanted $12.00ea for 100 series studs.I went to Don Kyatt spares as they specialise in Toyota,$2.50 each!!!! Even came in a Toyota bag.

That's what I'm saying , its really not that hard as the parts are available to mix n match.

LR (D1&2)rims are not centred by wheel nuts,, everyone one else's are.
The market is just not there for LR hubs.

My old d1 with steel rims was! My rrc is! Alloys may be different though

and theres the problem,,
The only reason to play with hubs is commonality of spares,
and its a good reason.

Yes, all depends which rims Ian has.....I have no idea on alloy rims.

On a side note, Kimberley Kampers now offer hubs to suit D4/RRS......must be enough demand for them to sort out a solution.

I would hazard a wild guess ...it has to do with the ability not to pass out when quoted the price !

A place here in town manufacture hubs and will drill them to any PCD/Stud Pattern.
They don't have the 16mm studs but can supply a 5/8" UNF.
The last lot of hubs I purchased from them for a trailer, I had them drilled to suit the 16mm Land Rover studs, which I had purchased from the UK.
