Carrier wheel rubber
 

Has anyone in the UK got a contact for someone who can re-rubber carrier wheels. Specifically a friend needs an idler wheel re-done. Or can anyone sell him one. Cheers, Ron

Ron there is a place in Gloucester we were trying out....Martyn has all the contact details as we wanted to run a test wheel before committing to getting loads done. the cost was circa £55 per wheel based on them receiving the casts clean and free of grease and rubber. this price was also based on us providing a minimum of 15 wheels otherwise the price is £69 / wheel. Martyn may be able to advise if he has been in touch with them.

hi ron, There is a place near me which i am going to try for re-rubbering, will take a wheel over in the next few weeks. try ebay occassionly, picked these up 2 days ago for £40 near me.

Thanks for the replys. Have you got any contact details for these firms. My friend would be quite happy to go for a single wheel higher price. Ron

Hi Ron,

Last weekend I was at a military trade show and was told about a company in Belgium that supposedly has loads off these carrier wheels NOS. I will investigate this lead and let you know.

Cheers,

I saw quite a few at a yard in Belgium a couple of weeks ago. None were new and some were quite worn but many were usable. I will be going back soon, I'll ask a price.

Keep us informed as the Loyd needs one or two or three or ....

PS. Does anyone know of any track return rollers available in the UK... the rubbered kind?
