re-rubbering British wheels

[listerdiesel]

Roy:

What is the likely cost to have, say, 4 wheels or eight wheels done?

I'm over in Nuenen in May, would be interested to see what the costs are.

My wheels are carrier type, but Ford Canada, if that makes any difference.

They are not for a carrier, we use the wheels for our show engines:



Generally we can use wheels that are too far gone on the tyres or the bearings for further service on a carrier vehicle.

Kind regards,

Peter

Does anyone know of anyone doing this same type of re-rubbering in Canada? I'm sure we could get a few together for a run of wheels if it was feasible. I live in Edmonton and there is plenty of manufacturing here so I'm sure there is someone who could do it. Before I start calling around has anyone else had it done here?

Was there a price quote? How did it work out?

A Service Information Bulletin from September, 1942 regarding the use of TL94 wheels.

Sorry, I haven't actually used them yet because I located some wheels with good rubber on them, so no quote, but they did indicate they could do the work fairly easily. I still have the stripped wheels kicking around and will take them in one of these days, but now there is no rush.

I think you are the closest to me with a place for wheels to be done.

When you do get something please let us all know.

Thanks
