    Any trailer shop will have the hubs. Our local nut and bolt place does. Lol. The brand of bearings supplied would be the biggest concern I think. Pity you dont want 5 stud. I have two sets here you could have.

    As mudski says any trailer part shop should have them. Don't know that particular brand, I got mine from Martins trailer parts here in Perth. Make sure you get the correct bearings for your axel and make sure you get the correct offset for the wheels you are using. The set I got were for a tojo, but I was making anew axel anyway so was able to set it up for the GU wheels I was using.
    edit:
    Sorry that wasn't clear. I was removing Toyota 5 stud hubs and replacing them with Patrol 6 stud hubs. The axel had to be shortened 50mm because of the difference in the 5 stud offset and the 6 stud offset.

    thanks guys, i was aware of the offset thing. I am fitting G.U. 16'' steelies so they match the patrol. ( also interchangeable) Think i'll take her to the trailer shop so they can measure up and supply the correct units. Thanks again.

    I used huntsman for my 10" disc brake setup..
    Bearings were good..
    Not skf quality but good..
    I'll be checking them soon though..
    Nearly done 5000k on em..
    I just got stubs though and made my own axle to suit the off set..
    I've got a set of nissan alloys for it now so may have to change to nissan studs and nuts as they use and odd taper..

    I also went a ford bearing, it's the biggest out of holden and ford and every trailer shop should stock it..

    Most will be using either Holden or Ford bearings,
    unless you want something with a bit more load bearing lol
    Plus toyota 5 stud use a bigger stud than say Nissan

    I just measured from where the rim bolts to the hub to the other side.
    Gave the trailer place that measurement and they custom made my
    axle like Kallen I went for 10" electric brakes as well.
    Highly recommend a pair of bearing buddies to, cheap as chips
    and worth their weight in gold
