M105 trailer axles uses

[shannondeese]

I have a couple of left over M105 trailer axles from previous projects. I have a 1969 Zeiman trailer with a bent axle. I would like to use the M105 axles to replace the Zeiman axles. Do ya'll think the hub extension on the M105 can be redrilled to an 8 lug pattern. The width is almost right, close enough for it to work. I plan on using it behind my deuce anyway so the airbrake feature will work great. I would just like to have it a bit lower than the M105 so I want to use the 8 lug wheels I allready have. Thanks.

Have you thought of just using a different profile tire instead - then the spare could be used if needed short term?

You might have a machine shop make an adaptor.
