DND M101 Trailer Wheel Adapters - VW to Defender

#1 Post by StuartL » Tue Nov 13, 2012 11:06 am

I decided to start using my DND trailer more, so I decided that it would make more sense if the wheels on it were the same as the Defenders so I went about looking for ways to make that possible. After searching the internet and looking at axle swaps, hub swaps, and wheel adapters available one of our fellow Land Rover enthusiasts David Edwards who runs a machine shop fabricated me some adaptors, which are so fabulous I almost hate to put them on.

So if you are interested you can contact David at 778-889-5300.

Stuart... Very fancy! Nice work by the looks of it.

Once this plate is bolted on are the original wheel nuts flush with the face of the LR wheel flange? Maybe you could snap a photo of the adapter plate once you have it bolted in place?

Cheers, Andy
