Go on...tell us what stud pattern you want
Yeah sorry, missed that bit;)
108 would be like an escort from memory ......... or something english
Sounds like it has Hillman hunter rims
Will txt a mate and get back to you
He's a legend on rims/tyres
I will have a look tomorrow...all sorts of shit lying around here.
Cortina or Escort rim, commonly used during that period.
Definitely 108 pcd and this is what i can find on the tyre

Do you have a pic of the rim ?
Only this one

They look like ford rims
The Hillman had slots cut around the outside
I wheely don’t understand the problem but then I’m quite tyred.
Bugger off
I have a 1968 Oxford caravan and had to make a new axle with new stubs/hubs/rims and tyres from TWL just so that I could have a spare tyre, as Morris oxford rims are rarer than a Rare thing
go see your local wrecker.....our old boat trailer has mk2 vepher rims...turns out mitsi L 300 fit it just fine.... twl stock all sorts of rims.last year after pissing around for years with crappy bearings we bit the bullet and fitted new axel,hubs n stubs...which fit the same mk2 rims.... cost wasnt as much as thought it would be. in hindsite shouldve gone whole way and bought 3 new rims at same time.
Yeah escort/cortina/any of the above.
what hill are you up gibo?
i have some left over from a boat trailer .
In papatoe.
Swap for something useful,ammo,beer....?
Te Puke mate ;)
Yeah id be keen. Just thinking when im up there next. Got a mate that does it weekly
Only got reloads so thats no good to you, guess beer it is?
Still looking team
Make yourself a new axle and stubs, get 4 times. Job done, and will be under 1ķ...
If you have trouble any mag and turbo shop can get you three ford mags of your choice
Or even just the one if you want it as a spare
My trailer had Humber 90 hubs and rims. Was going to be $800 for new bearings. Bought new hubs/stubs and made new axles. The advantage with the new set up is cheaper to replace bearings when needed.Quote:

Legend mate. How would we get it up here?
Doh! Freight the caravan down on a train, drive down in your car, grab the rim from Mathias, take it to Beaurepairs and get a tyre put on the rim, drive to the railway yard, fit the wheel on the caravan and tow it back Gibo. Fuck mate it’s not that hard to figure out.Quote:
