I bought an old trailer for my build but I would like to change the hubs to a different bolt pattern. Since these wheels are hard to find and expensive. (Plus I've got a nice set of camaro rally wheels I really want to use) Does anyone know if I can find replacement hubs with a different bolt pattern? Any help will be appreciate. Thanks

It would probably be less expensive to just replace the axle. While doing so you could add brakes.

Cheers,

I don't think it would be cheaper unless i bought a cheap chinese axle. I would like to stay with the American Made dexter quality.

First off, I would think, is to establish which axle that you have. Then go to the Dexter website or a dealer to find the hub to match. If there is such. Gus has a point about brakes. If want brakes & your axle has no flange to mount brakes, you may as well buy a new axle. IMO.

Thanks for the help guys. Alaska my axle does have the flange for the brakes but im not sure if I will be installing brakes or not.
I'll head over to the dexter website and see if I can figure anything out about the hubs.

I have a boat trailer I am redoing and I have purchased most of what I need at this place. It is close to me but they will ship.
