Carrier country bogie wheels

[ron]

Hi Darrin,
Thanks for your reply, The steel part of the wheels are the same diameter as the steel part on the normal Australian H pattern,I have a couple of british wheels here and am familier with their style,Australian track width at the bottom of the horns is three and a half inches and at the top of the horns it is four and a half inches, I realise that there would have to have been some clearance to allow for the track warping when turning the vehicle,the width of the rubber where it contacts the track at the bottom of the horns is three inches on the standard Australian wheel there are grooves in the out side of the road wheels which I would say had some connection in regard to the bonding of the rubber road wheel, I have also seen the steel wheels as you mention and also the front idle wheel that you ajust the track tension with, I guess the way I am thinking is that British track is narrower than Australian,and with rubber fitted they would fit perfectly,could they be Australian pattern wheels made here to fit British track, did we at some time have enough British track? to warrent a run of our road wheels to use this tack up?? just a thought,
Again thanks for your reply and interest.
Regards Ron
