Rubber
An excellent post... Getting the rubber off the roadwheels I have might not be too difficult as it has hardened to the consistency of coal and shatters on impact !
I have a few spare narrowed Australian wheels with brittle rubber but then again what I really will need in the fullness of time is a set of genuine british narrow wheels with good or new rubber - then there are the british pattern idlers which are different again. I have a pair of originals fitted but they too are fragile. Getting more narrowed Australian Pattern wheels (as generous as the offer is) probably wo'nt solve the problem of originality for me. I'm looking at ways to raise the money, bite the bullet and have a set of authentic English rims re-rubbered and shipped to West Australia. Cheers Phill

Iam sure he will keep the offer open.....he would be throwing cash away if he didnt....i think Kevin has the right idea though, we need to get one done and tested on a carrier to see if it holds up to the abuse...

Re rubbering
Richard
Just found old details of a company that re rubbered my wheels in 2001. R J B Rubber, Grange works, Batley, WF17 6LN. They may still have all the details, Contact Trever Brown. They did some expirements to get them right, as if they get to hot they strip off. So you have to get the material correct. Barry
