So... Why not put a locally sourced wheel on your trailer?

I'm pretty sure John is looking for one where the entire screw-jack-and-wheel can be removed from the mounting bracket.

I looked at the one on my newer Komet trailer, and the bracket is definitely something that could be fabricated locally, albeit not without some effort. Two pieces of steel angle and a steel piano hinge with a threaded insert on the backing plate. A fair amount of drilling and grinding in addition to welding, now that I look at it...
