    Source for Rubber Wheel Tread

    I restoring an antique childs wagon & need to replace the rubber treads on the wooden wheels

    It would be like a large O ring
    5/8" across and about a 10" diameter wheel
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Ray

    Here is how. And here is where you get it.

    I've joined o-ring stock before, but not this big, and a razor blade or box cutter blade work better than scissors. You might also want to spray a light mist if accelerator on one end and let it dry and then put the CA glue on the other end. Line a "V" grooved block with parchment paper to align them when you push then together. There are flexible CA glues on the market that would be better too.

    Or if you're in a hurry, you might just buy 10 inch o-rings.
    Take a look at McMaster-carr 9319K414. These are 9-7/8 ID and 10-1/2 OD, but there are many more choices.
