Lister, what kind of suspension on those axles and what is there rating? A 4 lug is rather light weight axles. Do those axles got brakes on them?
I'm sure it will be fine. It would take a lot of abuse to open up all four holes and it's not as if its in constant use like a 40 footer. Even if the holes in the other one have elongated by a few thou it's not going to make a lot of difference.I doubt that we would get to those kind of forces in normal use, and nothing evidenced so far.
In normal driving there isn't a huge amount of pulling force once you're up to speed.
I'll have a look at the old one when we do our annual maintenance check and see if there is any evidence of elongation in the holes.

To be honest i quite like the ceiling blue.
