Sadly not at the moment, haven't got the spec sheet yet either - but it's a bog standard 6x2 tag axle. Only thing I've got to show atm is this crop of a rear shot :?

Quite a bit "flatter" in shape with a big indentation at the front

Looks like there is no way to have chrome nuts or custom painted details on this plain boring hub!?

Thanks for the pics :) I guess I'll wait to make those hubs until @Ogentor gets his new truck. One positive thing about those slimmed hubs are that they probably are much easier to keep clean :o :lol:

Only managed to make front and drive Mercedes hubs tonight. I'll do the old front hub too and of course the tag hub, maybe tomorrow. Also the stock paint is quite matte on the MB hubs and the front hub also has a very fine cast-surface. I think stock colored version looks very good 8-)

The "new" look on the Volvo Hubs are actually just plastic covers to help with fuel savings. The axles haven't changed on the outside. The only changes Volvo has made is ad some addiotional diff ratios to choose from.
My dad has a new FM and it has painted hubs without the covers on the drive axle.

@stickiestickie Thank you for that info, that was what I suspected after seeing all the earlier pics. I will make a version with a plastic cover too, for those that like that ;)

Can't imagine how that cover would save fuel?
Volvo also has some full wheel covers... those maybe save fuel
