Fitting new wheels to NC33 door rollers

[Piers Covill]

Hi – message from Julie Fieldhouse:

Hello – we have ordered some replacement wheels from he NA and are wondering how best to fit them especially as they seem slightly different axle width. Th boat is in Sweden so keen to understand this before heading out to her.
Thanks

i Interesting! I’ve just had to refit mine on one door b but that was a problem with the woodwork. The original wheels were ok. I can only suggest shaving down the sides of the sockets.
I suppose the wheels fit the runners? My runners are very worn so the slightly wider wheels would not be a problem. Roger Sturge – Wild Cat NC33 Mk2 1977.

It is more a case of how is best to get the old wheels off their metal carriage and fit the new ones on. If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful.

Where did you order the wheels from? I’m not sure what he NA is.

The NA is the Nauticat Association. The problem is that we have run out of the wheels and I am struggling to buy more as they have been discontinued.

Ah ok, thank you!
