Where could I source some extra long poly boat trailer rollers from?.........around 600mm 50mm Dia with 20mm center hole....Keep in mind i'm in Darwin so would have to have the freighted here but that's fine.
Cheers

Dan being 600mm long I doubt there will be anything on the shelf.
Try this fellow at Sandgate, he may be able to help you. I have purchased rollers from him in the past, good bloke. Jim

You could also try boat trailer spares in Brisbane. They are also the importers of viking rollers (same place). Well priced and often have more available than listed on their website, can do special orders etc.

cheers.

Maybe a bit extreme, but if you just have to have them, and you can't find them, there is a place near me that manufactures specialist bits and pieces out of polyurethane, if you get desperate I can try to find their name and phone number.

Just a thought, does it have to be a single 600mm roller? 300mm are very common, so, if you can have the roller in two bits, it should be easy for you.

600mm long, you would not want to be putting to much weight on it, even with a 20mm rod.

i have a longboat and needed wide rollers for the plank. I ended up cutting normall wide rollers with a bandsaw, making my own spindles (out of stainless outboard driveshafts!) and supporting the pin in the middle with a thin upright that sits in between and below the level of the rollers. so have almost 2 feet wide keel rollers

I purchased rollers the other day from Roxom, 25 x 8" cotton reels with a 21mm bore, really great price, but the delivery is dragging on a bit from when they said the rollers were sent by post almost a week and a half. Hopefully today.
Call them as they have more than what is on there web site.

Yes mate that's what i'm thinking may have to happen if I cany get what i'm after.

Yeah it's only going to be a Vee guide for a 435 tinny and won't hold any weight.

Its Bl@@dy Australia post. Not only do they only deliver a couple of days a week now, they only pick up a couple of days a week as well. And guess what, the day you order is never a pick up day, and then the pick up day never lines up with a delivery day - So nothing takes less than a week if delivered through them.

I have started avoiding suppliers who use them.
