Default RichardT - Carrier Wheel Re-rubbering

Hi Richie - here is all the information including images. The mold cost a bit to make so if you go down this path, get some commitment from others who want the service to defray some of the costs. I am still patiently waiting for orders to come in.

Bob

PS - also look at the posts on "The power of ebonite"

Default Rubber Injection

Hi Richie - I leave all of that to the rubber industrialist. They have their techniques. As the process takes a while I have never seen it happen.

Default Bump

Hi all - time to get this thread to the fore again. Have just done another nine wheels with sixteen to go. RUBBER is the only way to go, and real rubber not soft.

I have seen the before and after of the carrier wheels done by Bob and can say they are great. Well done.
