roof bed runner wheels

Post by janieh »

Hi,
I've desperately been looking to get some replacement parts for the roof bed as some are missing. I've checked Gunzl site but not found any. I think they are called runner wheels. It's what the board for the top bed uses to run along.

I've been to endless hardware stores to try and get something like this but no luck!

Anyone know where I could get something like this?

i know what your after. dish washers use a similar wheel for the runners. well the bosch one do anyway.

google bosch dishwasher parts see if that suits.
it`s a big round cage and there`s too many animals in it for my liking. To help address this ring lee on 07977 765818.

I would fabricate your own

drill it out job done, the Westy bed runners aren't critical for load bearing as the bed rests on the metal shelf when in use, so jsut get them close. if you had a mate with a lathe it would be better to get the centre drilled accuratley, and maybe chamfer the edge but I am sure you could do an adequate job the a vice, a drill and a bit of sand paper.

Thanks! Useful tips. I think I will make
my own, it looks fairly easy with those nylon rods.

They look like small skateboard wheels!
