Re: Wheels Wheels Wheels
In contact with a foundry but I think your pattern is too small for them. The guy is willing to work with me so I'll let everyone know what happens.

MIke, for your information the wheels cast from this pattern weight 11 1/2 lbs.
Another option would be to have me cast them but you would be back to shipping costs.
BTW I have a pair of arch bar trucks in 15" ga. if you are interested. They have 8" wheels and are very heavy.
$1000 F.O. B. central Florida.

Re: Wheels Wheels Wheels
the trucks sound good and I have friends in Fla now. If you could do a quick check for shipping to 49085 with a dock I would appreciate it. ball park figure would be fine
Thanks

Re: Wheels Wheels Wheels
Just a guess $200-300 plus cost of building a pallet for them maybe $50.

Here is a picture of the trucks for sale and a picture of what the trucks look like with brakes.
The trucks come with brake shoes, but you still need to fab other parts.
