Wanted: 203 x 40 Brake drums

[Nasher]

A slim chance I realise, but does anyone have any 203 x 40 Trailer brake drums hanging around they want to sell on?
6 on 5.5" PCD or more likely 4 on 5.5" PCD.
Anything apart from any 5 stud pattern.

I want to change the stud pattern on my trailer from the current 5 on 6" PCD to 6 on 5.5" PCD in order to use some really nice Alloy wheels with tyres I already have.

Unfortunately my originals can't be re-drilled as the new holes are too close to the old ones.

I have a lathe to skim any rough ones.

Just asking before spending £400-500 on new ones.

Thanks

Nasher.

At that price you’d almost be better off with new axles?

But I bought new 175R13 tyres and rims with 4 stud 5.5’’ spacing for less than 50 quid each last week.. cheaper than I could get tyres on their own. Maybe that’s a better option?

Hence asking the question.

I'm looking at @£1k for new axles or £400 for 4 x drums, mad but true.

I may well go with the new axles, but thought I'd ask on here first.
