Erde / Daxara 157 trailer on ford wheels :) looks better :)

[W.olly]

Well a reat faff about sorting new bearings out but this has been this weekends project. Not exactly finished as i need a set of spigot spacers making for the outer bearings as the ones on these trailer are different sizes due to the stepped axle.

I had these Ford Alloys for ages sitting there and couldnt sell them so as always never throw anything out .

All that was needed for this was a set of hubs at 4 x 108 for a 1 inch axle a new set of outer bearings as the hubs come with 25.4 bearings inner and outer.

The off set on these wheels need a set of wheel spacers or 25mm as well though.

Also the hubs needed to be drill out for the M12x1.5 studs i had lying around, they come with wheel bolts. they needed to be drilled out to 13mm, maybe 12.5 would of been better though as the knurl did slip on a few.



So as said i am waiting for a chap to get back tp me about making some SS spigot bearings to take the outer bearings.

Hope it can sort it for me soon.



Look sweet now, trailer bling dont like the 8 inch wheels it had.

That looks hood W.olly, I'm not a fan of those wheelbarrow wheels either. I've got them on my trailer & keep wondering if larger wheels would fit, but haven't done anything about it. I'd have to buy wheels & tyres to do it, so it will probably never get done.

Sooooo what happens when yo get a puncture and have to put the skinny one back on, the trailer will have a bit of a list

I dont hin i would of but as i had the majority of the parts needed i thought why not. Not needed but much better.

See below if any good to you. Got two spare.

Thanks for that offer, but by the time I've got them back from Manchester & then found they don't fit, or they won't go under the arches it wouldn't be worth it.

thats the thing with these things, is it worth it, not needed but.......


These are close to the arches but when it was full loaded with 600kg ( ok a little over ) the trailer didnt drop much. If the tyres do rub which i doubt as the tyres sit nice in the center and have a good few inch above. I will just move the arches up a little.
