    took us a while too, so you will get one stooge i'm sure of it...

    there are a couple of things I would really like to do with it to tidy the look up (not that it really needs it)

    but was thinking of taking off the pin striping as I think it look a little dated, changine the rear lights to LED....and would really like to change the handles with locks to something that sits a bit more flush (think this one is a bit of a dream though)

    The hubs will almost certainly be ALKO hubs. get on the ALKO site and see which ones they are.

    If like my Camp'o'matic , which predates the Aussie Swag tieup, they will be parallel bearing with electric brakes.

    You can buy blank hubs and have them drilled by any competent engineering shop. If you want to use mags DO NOT HAVE ALKO SUPPLY LR PATTERN, as although the pattern will'may be correct the studs will be AF not metric. If you want to use mags you have to buy LR studs or similar and if you get ALKO to supply them drilled, be aware that the hole for their studs is bigger than the hole for LR studs. ( I know all this from bitter experience)

    I have never carried a spare hub and I cannot think of any circumstance that you would. Who would ever carry a car spare hub?

    thanks mate... having a few hiccups trying to get it registered..

    but once it is will be changing lights etc...have them here ready but just want it registered first and then we are going to have a crack at having the hubs swapped over

    really would like to change the catches to flush ones also..dont know if thats possible but we are going to look into it...I think it will make the trailer look quite different

    been a while not done anything to the trailer up until now as we have moved house etc

    but the LED's are now fitted in replace of the old rear lights....next job hopefully is to change all the handles/locks to the compression locks if this is possible that way it will sit flush and not have anything sticking out to get snagged on stuff..
