Thanks for the replies. Yes, too late on the stairs. They're busy rusting away as I type. I gave them a coating of penetrol in the vain hope that might add a few years...

Good info. I bought a pair of bearing buddies but they seem to be just marginally oversized for the hubs. They have a fairly thick wall so they can't be force fitted. Any tips for how to achieve an interference fit? I don't have a lathe to bring them down to size. (I think the correct answer is send...

Thanks Ozzie, I'll make a small contribution here. These are the hubs/brakes for the standard trailer: https://sunriseint.com.au/product/9-mechanical-trailer-brake-kit-drums-and-backing-plate-caravan-set/ Holden HT 5 stud 63.9mm centres Bearing LM11 My notes say 10" but the invoice says 9"...

Strangely, I couldn't find a previous thread so I made a new one. As some of you may know, my boat is on a swing mooring. My current insurer, Topsail, told me I need a survey. This happened with my last insurer before Topsail. I can't afford a survey just for insurance. Can anyone recommend an insur...
