Carrier Wheel Re-rubbering

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #1 14-01-09, 11:02

Hi all - will shortly be doing a re-rubbering run. I have two spare wheels that I can re-rubber if anyone wants them. $225 per wheel that includes the stripping of the old rubber. I can deliver to Corowa. If anyone else needs some done, contact me ASAP.

I also possess one five spoked wheel and know where there are at least another two, possibly three. I could hunt around and get together a set of eight. Again if interested, contact me ASAP.

There was a show on CBC Radio about industrial innovation and refocussing that mentioned - rerubbering AFV wheels. It seems a small company in Bathurst, New Brunswick was looking around and responded to a problem stated about Gagetown's M113 wheels wearing out. They made a trial batch, figured out how to contract with the Forces and now they have deals with Canada and Denmark. Afghanistan is good for business. And especially now that one of their major mining customers is closing its mill, so no more wide conveyor belting sales.

So fixing U/C wheels could be the start of a good business.

Google should be renamed Goofle. I typed Bathurst New Brunswick industrial rubber. That is the name of the company too! If these guys can rerubber M113 roadwheels or loading dock forklift solid wheels, they willl understand what it takes to do Carrier roadwheels. But like many of the problems in the hobby, it will take a group buy to make the deal worthwhile. Good luck with that.
