What sort of hub is this ?? Need help

[1SIKR8]

Hey as this title has in wondering what sort of hub this is on the trailer I have, its going to be a motorbike trailer and I would like to put a nice set of rims on it thanks for the help

[HoZy]

a Wheel hub.

Lol ok I deserved that, is it a old ford or old Holden hub ?

[m1lky]

There are 4 studs so it's 4 by something.

Measure diagonally across between the centre of the studs. (in mm)

Common ones are:
4x100
4x108
4x110
4x114.3

Whoops my bad just read it again lol thanks

Also curious while I'm on the subject of the trailer, the trailer used to be a small pop-top caravan, hadn't been register
In forever, I just took the caravan off cause it was rooted, put a floor down and set it up to hold 3 bikes, I'm just curious about what I have to do to get it road worthy

In my opinion i'd chuck the wheels and hubs and fit a set of vn commodore hubs and bearings. This way you can run commodore stud pattern and since you're driving a commodore you've got a spare in the car on hand if need be (assuming there won't also be one on the trailer itself).
It'll have to go to a trailer place for a blueslip and will get a new number punched into it.

Yea was thinking about throwing a set of commodore hubs on it but couldn't be bothered lol haha

Ok true true that works for me

Just go to a wrecker and ask for a pair where the discs are buggered/worn out. They 'should' give them to you.

Why not measure them and start from there. You can do it with a ruler if that's all you have. Easy as pie

Ok need help, from center to center it's 102mm? How commen is this ?

[Jonno]

its not comm or ford cos their 5 studs

just get some multi stud rims

[1SIKR8]

Mmmm true true

Trying to figure a way of putting commodore hubs on without having the brakes on .... Scratching my head

[cander24]

Why would the brakes be on by using an early commodore hub??? All you would be doing is mounting the commodore hub and bearing onto your axle. You're not fitting calipers or handbrake shoes etc.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The early Commodore has the hub as part of the rotor. You can get Commodore pattern trailer hubs, but you will need to measure the axle where the inner and outer bearings sit so you can make sure the bearings for the Commodore pattern hubs will fit.

To get the correct PCD, you need to measure centre to centre diagonally.

[1SIKR8]

Thanks not an abba fan I was sure that was the case with the early model commodore hubs


I had a look on eBay and saw a few hubs and I'm pretty sure I can make them work but I'm curious, may be a stupid question but what does PCD stand for ?

[m1lky]

Stands for pitch circle diameter.

If you draw a circle with the diameter specified (eg 102) then drill a number of holes evenly spaced around it (eg 4) then you have a 4x102 pcd

Makes measuring the pcd on a 5 stud hub much more difficult.

Not sure where you'd buy trailer 5x120 (commodore) hubs from. Pretty sure Trojan ones are 4x100 and 5x114
