any one actually put castors on the rear of their lowered car?

There's such a thing?

 

If the sparks don't fly, you're too high!

 

ok, it took me a while to find only one fuckin picture... anyway , i found it !lol!



Bettencourt's Merc, Barris version ...; that's back then!

 

Here's a thought, instead of worrying about where to hide the casters why not make them a part of the overall design? Put them in everyone's face. Make them extra large? Fitted into some bullets? Part of the rear fender flares or extended wheel covers? Part of a continental kit? Fab some custom caster assemblies with wheels that match the rest of your car's wheels and tires? Gary

 

I mounted mine on the bumper bracket.

 

wow.

 

Would you use Castor Oil to lube those "castors?" Sorry, couldn't help myself there.

 

DAMN! i gotta get a scanner,there a 'tech' story on how to do this in some Little books in the early 50's--with a warning not to booster grocery store carts for their wheels {damn hoodlums} it said to use steel casters.

 

My 59 Mercury had a crazy long overhang out back with the continental kit, should have used the caster setup on it but just changed out the 4" echo can tailpipes annually instead...

 

T bones are a good idea , what hardness are ya thinkn like 95a ? And they would have to be hamb friendly so you'll need a nos set put two on the back of ya car one as a shift knob and one as a chain tensioner on ya bike

 

"If it works..." The good ol' boys like to say.............

4TTRUK

 

I LIKE THIS....vvvvv

 

pretty close to what I was thinking! LOL It seems like they only came in one hardness version from what I remember since they were supposed to be ramp wheels I think. The ones I keep finding are claiming to be NOS so I would hope they would be HAMB friendly HA HA Actually I would use two on the truck and two on my motorcycle lift table Im gonna build.

 

. Haha maybe we should start a thread on what ya can use skateboard wheels for on old style hotrods and customs
