Rubber for my 14" wheel?

[oldwolf]

Juat finishing up my 14" wheel and need a supplier for rubber to cut into a 2" strip. Not going to need much so where can I get some?

 

[richard j]

how thick? i might be able to get you something that will work.

 

[oldwolf]

I would guess around 1/4" thick or slightly smaller.

if there is a feed mill around you they might have some used conveyor belt that you can use. i'll see what a buddy has laying around.

 

[oldwolf]

Yeah, that would probably work. Doubt there are any around here. I'm in the Sierra's.

has anyone tried having a truck bed liner sprayed on then turned nicely to clean up ?

 

[richard j]

i think that stuff would be dangerous to even try. i have seen it peel off a bed before and it was the stuff that wasnt supposed to do that.

this guy offers cut to length

When I made my wheel, I used Barge Cement to fix it to the wheel and locktite super glue to join the edge bevels.
Superglue is what we use to build cutom o-rings. works greeat, mine has been in operation 4-5 years now.

Thanks Sweeny for the link. Duh, why didn't I think of Ebay. Looks like I'll be buying a bit more than I will need. I wonder if If I should go into the 14" wheel business?
