Are Shorter Length Hub Assemblies Available

Question:

The hub length of this is 4 1/16, is there a shorter one available say 3 1/2?

Hey Johnathan,

To get a smaller hub you'd have to go down in capacity, which likely would not fit your axle's spindle. Is there a reason you're needing a smaller hub?

It’s a home built trailer that someone attach the spindle directly to the frame and the normal 4.2” hub length hubs the outer sits on the threads and I can’t reuse the og hub because the person who had it thought it was a good idea to weld the wheel to the hub.

@JonathanE In order to get the correct hub you'll need to measure the spindle with digital calipers # PTW80157 at points B, C, and D from the diagram above to determine the inner diameter of the bearings. From there I can try to see if anything matches up.
