    Default Douglas wheel and hub info needed

    So my new to me Kitfox IV has the Douglas ATV 8" ATV wheels. I was just out re-packing the wheel bearings and the previous owner had broken a section of the hub where the grease cap presses on. The grease cap still presses on and seems secure, but I would like to replace the hub. Also, one of the wheels has a dent in the rim and I would like to replace that as well.

    So, does anyone know part numbers or anything like that for the wheel and/or hub assemblies?

    Hi,
    I've also been looking for part numbers etc for the same Douglass wheels for our Kitfox.
    Any luck in finding anything yet?

    Thank you

    The Douglas wheels were modified by Kitfox by welding on the lugs that the brake rotar bolts onto. I think they made the hubs themselves. They would actually be fairly simple to make for someone who can weld aluminum and has access to a lathe. JImChuk
