Trailer Hub that Fits 1 inch or 1-1/6 inch Diameter Spindle

Question:

Getting ready to replace torsion axle that has metric dimensions. Do they make a race/bearing set with metric race OD and SAE US dimensions on spindle for the hub? Id say 1inch or 1 1/16 inch spindle.

We have hubs that are designed to fit spindle diameters that you mentioned of 1 inch and 1-1/6 inch. If you have a straight spindle with a 1 inch diameter you'd have a BT8 spindle and the hub part # 8-258BTUC1 that you referenced would fit. If you have a spindle with a straight diameter of 1-1/6 inch then you'd have a BTR spindle and would want a # 8-258-50UC1. The diameter of the spindle where the seal would ride on either would be 1.25 inch.

If you can verify your spindle dimensions and they match either hub I mentioned then either would be a match.
