I've been given a 6 x 4 foot box trailer in 7/10 condition but the tyres are about 14 years old and I need to tow it 700klms home, actually its my parents trailer and since dad can't drive anymore they have no need for it.
The trailer has sat in a shed for the past 4 years and its still registered, now instead of buying 3 new 14 inch tyres I have 4 15 inch 1988 Saab mags and new tyres that would be perfect for this trailer, I scrapped the Saab after a large kamazaree Kangaroo smashed it up.
The Saab studs are slighty out compared to the current 4 stud pattern which is unknown maybe the Japanees pattern so I'd really like to make use of these rims and tyres so I'm wondering if new hubs are available as blanks so I can have them machined to suit the Saab stud pattern.
As I said the trailer is 700klms away so I can't inspect the trailer to see what I need and both parents are frail and can't inspect for me either.
