    Trailer hubs to match Range Rover

    Just got myself a camping trailer, currently with Toyota hubs and wheels. I want to put RR wheels on it, so need RR hubs etc. Want electric brakes too! AND same 16mm wheel studs, so any RR wheel and nut can be fitted.

    I called a couple of trailer people earlier today, they can offer RR stud pattern, brakes etc BUT 5/8" threaded studs, so standard wheel nuts will not fit etc etc.

    I am hoping someone can assist with pointing me to a supplier who can supply matching studs, hubs, etc.

    I have got RR rear hubs with discs, but do not think you can electrify disk brakes.

    Help please.

    It would appear from here (and my own calls) that no one will do metric studs.

    If you run steel wheels then it doesn't matter though. Nuts will be different but wheels can still be swapped from car to trailer and vice versa.

    I was planning on running steel wheels for now, but if enough mags turn up I could run them on the trailer and the truck... so just planning for the future!

    Unfortunately AlKo only fit AF studs to their hubs (9/16" I think). As you say they do have combined brake drum/hubs for the Range Rover classic/Land Rover PCD but not with the correct studs.

    The M16 studs on Series 3, Defenders, Countys and Range Rover classics all take the same nuts. Why don't you see if you can get replacements of those and machine out the ALKo hub to accept them. M16 is larger than 9/16 so there should not be a problem.

    If unable to find replacement parts - sacrifice the spare Rangie hubs and press the studs out of them.

    I have a stack of D2 hubs. I'll have to see if the 14mm studs press out easily.

    There is a mob here in Sydney that will supply D2 14mm, D1 16mm metric studs, but the name escapes me, Discowhite knows the company as he did his trailer with them, as for the hubs, D1 RR, Defender hubs are off the shelf items from AL-CO, D2 hubs are a whole different story

    If you want i'll give Phil a call today and ask, just let me know.

    Have a look at this thread, scroll down to Chucaros post to see the links he posted

    You suggested that the camper has Toyota hubs and wheels.

    Are they Land Cruiser PCD/bearings and are they braked hubs?

    If they are AlKo brakes, you just have to order the AlKo drums with Land Cruiser parrallel bearings and Land Rover PCD which are an optional part.

    Otherwise you order the brake kits with parrallel bearings and Land Rover PCD, they probably won't have them in stock but it should only take a couple of days to get from the AlKo warehouse. Once you have the brake kits you weld a mounting flange onto your unbraked axle and the new drum/hubs use the same bearings.

    If they are regular Toyota car wheels you need to find out what bearings are on it, most trailers have 1 of 4 standards of bearing, Holden (1000Kg/axle) Ford Falcon otherwise called "slimline" (1450Kg/axle) Land Cruiser otherwise called "Parrallel" (2000+Kg/axle) and some older trailers had Ford F100 hubs.

    You can get Alko Brake kits with Land Rover PCD (not D2/p38a PCD) in all the first 3 bearing types.

    Addit: spend the extra money and get the off-road brake kits, the magnets are better retained and will last longer on trips with lots of corrugated roads.
