Tank Idler wheels / used tyres

[8_10 Brass Cleaner]

I take it the Hirst supply of tank idlers has dried up?

Fork truck tyres are availible off the shelf, or at least they were when I was looking for replacements for the trailer about 6 months ago.

Sadly for me they seem not to make the size I wanted for pressing on, however for opening up and bolting/welding on in the time honoured fashion they would be suitable. The finish goes from smooth to the lego tread type, and a range of colours.

I expect they would be a cheaper option than making rings and having the rubber custon made by the likes of Reliant.

I have used both Reliant and B H Leake in Birmingham, both did exellent jobs, Leakes were a little cheaper on the smaller job and being in Birmingham alot easieir for me to get the wheels to them.
