First wheel complete. Have a larger flotation wheel underway. Pics later today hopefully. What do tou think? Wheel in pic diameter 22mm. Casting this week. Either white metal centre and rubber resin tyre. Or resin centre. Pics not the best. Detailing on them has turned out excellent hexagon nuts etc will try get better pics.

I am hoping to do a range of wheels and one off's to customer requirements for a particular conversion. At the moment im trying different casters to see which is the best, any suggestions for recommended casters are welcome  ;D

The brass rod or welding rod(cheaper to buy in 1meter lengths) works about 2.45mm dia

I can make them to the most popular diameter. Ill post pics later today or tomorrow of a second wheel im working on. I have a 3mm hole in the one in the pic for the axle. Im hoping to get them cast in the next two weeks.

white metal center and a rubber resin tyre i would

Yea think thats how shes gonna be. If anyone wanted custom centres to suit already available tyres can be done. Would run off 4 etc from aluminium

Posted

metal middle rubber tyre would be better, when you say flaots i take it you mean fatter width tyres of the same size??

Yes ones similar to the siku krone mower

mmm can see at least 2 pairs of each heading my way then, maybe 3 pairs of each, got several bits i need to finish, and they seem from the pics to suit perfectly
