There was a show on CBC Radio about industrial innovation and refocussing that mentioned - rerubbering AFV wheels. It seems a small company in Bathurst, New Brunswick was looking around and responded to a problem stated about Gagetown's M113 wheels wearing out. They made a trial batch, figured out how to contract with the Forces and now they have deals with Canada and Denmark. Afghanistan is good for business. And especially now that one of their major mining customers is closing its mill, so no more wide conveyor belting sales.

So fixing U/C wheels could be the start of a good business.
