In the past I've noticed that some of this group's members are interested in gas powered tether cars from the '40s - '60s. I need to have a "bearing washer" (thin steel washer with an axle-size hole in the center) machined for my restored 1948 Ohlsson & Rice .29 tether car. The hole in the current bearing washer enlarged sufficiently to come off over the head of the screw holding in in place. That allows the outer wheel half to fall off, which allows the tire to fall off. Anyone know somebody who would be willing to make that little piece for an appropriate price? Thanks.

My current toy cars include a 70,000 mile 1969 MG-B/GT Mark 2, and a 35,000 mile 1981 VW convertible. In the past I owned various American cars that included a '63 1/2 Falcon Sprint Convertible, and '59 Galaxie 2 door post coupe with Thunderbird 390. Fun cars in their day.
