| No, I didn't find 54mm available but its just .001" larger than 2.125" and with bearing races mostly metric, the odds are slightly better. But scanning quickly through Baum's catalog pages of tapered roller bearings I didn't see any with 54mm OD on cups. You could look at: http://www.baumhydraulics.com/files/catalog/sec-r.pdf
and see their selection of dust caps at: http://www.baumhydraulics.com/files/catalog/sec-f.pdf where they have a bigger collection than Shoup. I didn't look at the OD of every cup in decimal inches.
Can you identify the bearing? That might help settle on a diameter.
You also have to select for height, some might not clear the end of spindle with nut and cotter key.
I suppose a spacer ring could be made that was a push fit in the hub to use a slightly smaller dust cap, or the gap could be filled with epoxy or loctite bushing lock thats intended to fill a gap. Might make it hard to take off in the future.
Searching with the string "mobile home" axle parts I find references but few parts though
http://hugheswheelandaxle.com/ReplacementParts.htm claims to have parts, but doesn't give details. Seems they salvage mobile home axles and have parts.
Dexter says no parts because the axles are made to be used just one trip, forged, not machined. And many posts on blogs by those that have used them aren't happy about parts, brakes, and tires.
