Lexion580 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 I've got some of those rings from Agrium Models, for a double press i'm building. Think they are more a press type ring rather than a cambridge ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I wonder how they would look if you ground the hubs down a little... so they fit more "snugly" together \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexion580 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Yeah that'd probably be okay, if i get some left over from my press i'll give it a whirl ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Whats that about then Ben? They seem to have stopped their mail out parts system and instead expect you to pay for them from a website....that has very little on it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ever thought of useing plastic pipe the stuff that is ridged Put some dowell in the middle and their you have it Cheep and cheerfull Or get some plastic washers with 2 different outer sizes and the same inner hole and put them on a spindls \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I've got some of those rings from Agrium Models, for a double press i'm building. Think they are more a press type ring rather than a cambridge ring? I wonder if you could use 'penny washers' between those rings as spacers....?

NIGEL FORD Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Has anyone got any ideas what I could use for cambridge rings? I'd like to scratch build a set of rolls like these. (Sorry the Pics a bit small) http://www.fraser.co.uk/rolls.htm I made flat ring & cambridge ring roller rings a few years back and have accumulated a good few castings off the mould. These are 4 spoke WREKIN style as we had a conventional gang on the farms (main 8' + 2x4' wings). I keep meaning to get them launched as a similar model set, but never had time to get the frames done. I might just sell some, but if I do then I suppose I'll be inundated with orders and well I won't have any left myself.... but try me if your pocket is deep enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
