Help needed please. We have just bought a trailer to carry our stock car around on. One of the wheels is buckled and I am trying to identify it so that I can get a replacement. They are 14" wheels, 4 stud, 115mmPCD, with lugs to take hubcaps, on substantial drums attached to Indispension units. The drums are 244mm o.d. and about 75mm thick. They have casting marks MOWOC (which I always thought was BMC)11H1319-0, 8DA 20841. Our local Morris Minor parts man cannot recognise them. The backplates have a single cylinder, and there is a square section adjuster opposite. I have not yet been able to get a drum off to try and identify the brake shoes. Many thanks.

the shoes may be a red herring,most old trailers used bmc or hilman hunter rims,take the wheel to a camping specialist any worth their salt will have a chart or be able to point you somewhere.

Austin A60 ( Cambridge ) Brakes perhaps. Can you find a makers name for the trailer. Regards Peter

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately there is no maker's name on the trailer. I guess it is a home made job.

Try this site, www.trailerpartswarehouse.co.uk - I've been recommended to them by a few people but haven't needed to order anything yet. People who've had dealings with them say they are excellent (and no I don't work for them!)

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but MOWOG used to be the trade name for BL / Austin / Morris parts.
And 11H 1319 would be a part number.

I'll do that also. Thank you.

Thanks Henry, I thought so. My first 4 wheel car was a 1961 Austin Cambridge two tone grey and lots os chrome. I can see that part number in front of me now. Red leather seats, quarter lights, SU carbs, I conveted to twin 1 and 1/2 one weekend and broke a half saft so I went back to a standard fit. Super reliable, great motoring, points, condensor, and Lucus Electrics. Eh-By-Gum. Regards Peter

Instead of trying to find a replacement for the one wheel it may be easier to find a pair with the right hole spacing.Just a thought...

Why do you need to identify the drum - it's the wheel you are trying to replace, isn't it?
I'd just take the wheel to a scrap yard and browse around, armed with a tapemeasure. There are only three things to get right:
spacing between the holes, rim size, and degree of offset of the tyre in relation to the bit where it bolts on.
Even that last may not be critical, depending on mudguard design.
Trailer wheels - paulc924
Yes you are right. We did that and the nearest was a 14" wheel from a Nissan. This was no good because the hole in the centre of the wheel would not clear the tapered boss on the hub, but more importantly, because of the offset which is common to front wheel drive cars,the wheel was touching the trailer body on the inside even before the wheel just got over the boss/wheel studs.
