Bob,

Last year Nigel Watson told me about a company capable of rerubbering Universal Carrier wheels without the use of moulds. What they basically do is build up a solid tyre by winding a rubber strip around the rim, cure it, and then turn the rubber down to the desired size on a CNC-lathe. Nigel, can you correct/add to this?
