Cool V Groved Wheels
G'day Y'all
Enjoying the Wet are we
While were getting plenty of the stuff (66mls June) out in the west
Might as well do some mods.

Anyone know where to get the V groved wheels from in Melbourne?
I'm looking for 4 of 75mm V grooved castors.

I'm thinking you want these for a roll-off roof system???

Anyhoo, I think you are thinking more about V pulleys? Like these http://www.gbtrans.com.au/pulley.html That is what I'd use.

Try CBC Bearings in Airport West:

CBC - Consolidated Bearing Co Phone: (03) 9338 2644.
Cnr Matthews Avenue & Victory Road, Airport West, VIC

I use them for bearings, pulley belts etc.

Not really mate, I can't stand it when it's clear during a full moon and completely clouded out during a new moon.

Are you building an Obs?
