Was told that mmamajor Dr.Deuce and Taigh Ramey might have knowledge of this item!!!!!!! For info onthe G503 board.

This hub is on a A-2 WWII Oneida Manufacturing Co. Photographic Laboratory Trailer - rare - only appears in the early TM9-500 and then disappears in later editions (because the original aluminum skin was requisitioned for airplanes - not trailers!!!!) Anyway I am missing a hub - desperately seeking HUB!!!!! This trailer is going to a Warbird Museum if we can ever find the hub....got the wheels!
See the picks - any info greatly appreciated

The hub appears to be similar to the M5??????

That sure does look M5-ish.

Give me the dimensions of:

Inside dia of the from (braking surface)

depth of drum (contact area)

Distance from back of drum to face for mounting the wheel.

The fact that it has the standard looking electric brake setup and 5 lugs (Grrr) makes me think it is the M5 type.

You wil play hell trying to find wheels if you need them... For or Dodges had them in the 50-60's

You "Might" be able to use Searchlight/generator trailer drums (6 lug)
