re-rubbering British wheels

[Paul Schipper]

Wanted to bump this I have a few wheels that need rerubbered. Paul

Paul:

The costs are high, wherever you go to have it done.

We sent the first set (4 wheels) over in exchange for another set, and through a friend in Holland they came over to the UK, transport free.

The second set were our first set re-rubbered and we bought them outright from Roy with transport via a friend again.

Even so, we have been very pleased with the quality of Roy's wheels, and if you could find a way to ship to him by sea freight, that is probably the cheapest option.

We were quoted frighteningly high prices for these in the UK, something like $US 450.00 per wheel, although that probably included an element of "We don't really want to do it, but if you're daft enough to pay, we may as well make some good money out of it while we are at it" mentality.

I won't quote Roy's figures but I'm sure he will pop up with a quote, suffice it to say that had we not found Roy through the Forum, we wouldn't have used the carrier wheels.

Might be worth a post on HMVF Forum to see if anyone there has any contacts as well.

Hi Paul
I notice you are looking for someone to do wheels in North America
I re rubber them with polyurethane at 80 duo and have put quite a few miles on them with no sign of wear
email me for a quote if you are interested
I am in On. Canada

I have one good wheel and the rest are nicked but runnable. I would like to put all fresh rubber on all the wheels. So that would be 8 wheels if I had them all done. Shipping will be an issue.

What kind of price would we be looking at?

I had a pair of the early Scout wheels re rubbered last week (in the UK), not run them yet but they look good. The company specialises in older vehicles, traction engines etc. I'm contemplating having a couple more done to get a matched set.

Jim I think there is a place in CA. that will do them, check out panzerfabrik, they had their Pzr IV wheels done there, I will also need to do my Cromwell wheels, and if we are going to ship the HSC over for the 70th we can throw the wheels in with it and have them done, then ship them back, I am also checking on the ones in CA.

Jim :
pricing on carrier wheels is 265.00 Cnd. each if six or more
TO remove and replace rubber (polyurethane ) 80 Duro. the wheels must be supplied with bearings removed and free of grease and cleaned ( or they can be sandblasted and painted later)
there is no shipping included
