    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.

    @Gibo is that old hobo home on duratorque suspension? A lot of vans that age were, if so not as easy to "change the axle or hubs" as its been suggested.

    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.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @Gibo Tyre is knackered but we would strip that off, you could bomb it with some fresh paint. Let me know if you're keen and I'll see what the deal is.
