Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Ye might try looking for where they sell off Factory stuff, mate. The sections of Rollers they shove boxes along on? eBay has a section for ex industrial stuff ..... Google? Much sought after kit though. Won't come cheap or easy, I'd imagine.

barny1 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 why not just go buy a running machine like i did. loot they are cheap enough Link to post Share on other sites
sb001 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 For a decent treadmill use inline skate wheels for the bed and go kart wheels for the front and rear. If you want to do it on the cheap use shopping trolly wheels The steel rollers are too heavy, arent free enougth and the space between them is too big causing slat rock when the dog is running it.
