Hi All

Where can I get some wheel holders for my 10th wheels ? any links would be appreciated, or alternatively what do others use to keep you sets of wheels together ? I seem to spend ages looking through my wheel bag finding a full set ?

Cheers

I made my own out of m4 threaded rod with a lock but one end and a wing nut the other end. It's pretty inexpensive and looks less likely to break compared to the plastic ones.

Best way i have come across is using cheap cable ties. run one through the middle, and use a second to hold it together. It helps if you have supplies of cable ties at work.

I bought a pack of a couple of hundred at the start of the year, and still have loads left.

you can even buy reusable cable ties if your feeling particularly innovative

These are perfect for holding a set of 4. Work out at about 15p each although you can buy in smaller quantities for a few pence more.

Quick easy & reusable :)

Cheers for the response guys. Chesty do the binders hold 4 wheels in one binder ? 2 wheels on each side ? I like the look of them .

Cheers

Yes, that's correct.
