RE: New wheels for T030 [TANKS]

Steve and all

For the road wheels on my Hetzer I gave them rubber tyres [ scrounged as 
usual ! ].

If you go to any small tyre depot they have stacks of used car inner tubes 
,I selected a couple that had a radius less than half the diameter of the 
road wheel [ think about it ?].

I then cut these into rubber bands about twice the width of the road wheel 
, these were then contact glued to the wheel and trimmed when dry.

It is also easy to add a second to get more tread thickness if needed.

Stops the rattle of wood on wood and is cheap and easy , and amazingly they 
are quite hard wearing but easy to replace if the need arises.
