How Far Apart Do the Races Need To Be On a BT8 Spindle
Question:
I am working on a project that requires me to fabricate my own hub. Instead of spending the time and money making a spindle I am just going to use one of yours. My question is what is the required distance from one race to another inside the hub in order for this spindle to work? Thanks

Expert Reply:
There is not really an exact required distance between the inner and outer race on a spindle as the trailer hub will dictate this distance and there can very well be some variances between different trailer hubs. However, I went out to our warehouse and pulled a trailer hub that is fit for the BT8 Spindle part # TRU59FR and measured the distance between the inner and outer races (inside to inside). I found this to be right at 2-1/16" so your trailer hub will need to be very close to this but as mentioned above there is some wiggle room. I hope this helps but if not please let me know what else I can do for you.
