Foam-Tyre Wheels for Wind-up Toys
These are the wheels I use in my 'scuttlers' workshop.
They consist of a cotton reel fitted with a tyre made of pipe insulation and are supplied with a no.18 elastic band fitted.
You can save money by making them yourself - cotton reels and pipe insulation are available separately.
You will also need the wire frame to go with it or make your own (I make mine from 'giant' paper clips).
