Custom Trailer Axle Using Vitara Axle

Post by machh1 »

Hi everyone. I have an old.. pretty old home made trailer I purchased recently which has combi 9inch hubs & wheels on a straight tube axle. Trailer itself is in pretty good condition. Would like some expertise on the following questions.

1. How hard would it be to make up a new tube axle using Vitara hub/stub axles?
2. Is it something that could be done at home for someone who has basic know how or is it a mechanic job?
3. Is there anybody in Sydney (westish) that would be able to do it?
4. Lastly, an idea of cost for either of the above mentioned methods of getting one made.

Any thoughts/comments appreciated.

Thanks.

Actually all Im after is to be able to use the same size rims on the trailer that I use on the vit. Any suggestions?

i'm sure you can get F-100 trailer hubs from somewhere which are the same bolt pattern as the suzuki's

Yep. I run f100 trailer hubs on mie. Just go to your local trailer parts supplier and order your axle with 5x5.5" hubs at the same width as your vit and thats it!
