Best go see your local steel fabricator, The axle on my Hallmark trailer gave up. Hallmark wanted
1000 euro to replace.. Had one built , Galvanized and fitted for 450 euro

Good points there. Is your axle beam ok? You can always renew the indespension units, hubs etc.

It isnt what happened is previous owner put old land rover axle on which is in ok condtion but its not galvinised and breaks are shot so complete new unit makes sense with laws on trailers being enforced these days...
