Hey guys,
This is one of those lame as "do a bloody search!" questions. But I'm hoping the more knowledgeable folk will know proper measurements. Basically my cab has these on the bottom:
Not the castor itself. But the baseplate with a screwhole *and* a slot - you can just about make out the grooves where the base plate slots into.
So effectively I'm looking for some castors that will fit. I've measured the gap it needs to fit into and it is 2.25in wide (groove to groove) and 2.5in long, button to bolt. The groove itself is 3mm, so the baseplate of the castors cannot be any bigger than that.
Reason being, the current ones I have don't have a baseplate, and the screws fall out of the holes. I can't use bigger screws because the metal plate on the bottom of the cab has holes in it that are a certain size. I suppose I could make them bigger, but would rather not mess about drilling them.
Comments
I have these sites bookmarked and haven't looked through all of them but those that I have don't have that size.

However this page shows something similar

And this gives a clue to the makers, though the plate looks different

And other castors bear the name Blickle, maybe worth a google?
As it happens Egnater were absolutely no help on this. Didn't even respond to my email!
