[TR] Vehicle dollies

[Michael Ferguson]

John, from your snet address, I assume you're in CT. You anywhere near  
Wallingford? I have a set that look like Harbor Freight's steel  
version ( http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.tafItemnumber=32052 
  ). Bought from a place called Metro Tool, a poor man's HF. :) Don't  
remember what they cost, but I think it was less than HF's $70/pair,  
albeit about 5 years ago. Four cast iron, ball bearing casters each. I  
don't know the manufacturer's name, but I do know they aren't US  
General. I use them for my TR3 and moving it by myself is a piece of  
cake.

I don't know if Metro Tool still carries them or if they ship - or  
even if they're still in business. I just tried to call them to ask,  
but at 5:50PM on Sunday, I guess they're closed and no voice mail. For  
all I know, their number has changed, but if you want to try, the  
number I have is 800-886-6578. NFI whatsoever - I think the dollies  
are the only things I've ever purchased from them.

Perhaps you could exchange your aluminum ones for the HF steel  
(Central Machinery) version. Good luck!
