Where Can I Get These Wheels?

[Snake45]

I think they're called Halibrand spindle-mounts. What kit(s) might have them, or who in the aftermarket makes them in resin? I could use at least one set, maybe more. 

[Brutalform]

Maybe try Scenes Unlimited? I’ve seen these somewhere, but you know how it goes when you actually are looking for them they disappear.

Pretty close, from a Mustang funny car...

Ouch - $15 with shipping and tax on Ebay.  Might as well just buy the whole kit. ?

The Multi Maverick had those and I am pretty sure the new Dyno Don Cougar f/c does too. The Hot Rod Magazine, The Kalitta Mustang  and probably a bunch of other F/C kits.

I believe they were also in the Johan Mustang funny car.  Competition Resins has them, also available at Slixx - http://ecsvr.com/slx/shopdisplayproducts.asp?page=2

Yes...those look great. Right size hole for spindle-mounts.

$5 - that is more like it.  Of course Snake45 will probably order a lot more than that. ?

That’s what I was thinking.

What you planning on building, Snake?

Looking at the Harrell-Borsch-Muse Altered. 

Thanks all for the speedy replies! 

[ChrisBcritter]

The AMT Boss Nova had them; IIRC they were sized to fit the compact tires.

Ahhh a roadster. Sound like a pretty cool idea. I really gotta get away from 60 era S/S cars, and muscle cars, and do something different like this.

The Boss Nova has them, but the slots are not opened. I just a few minutes ago opened my Boss Nova kit to start on it, and saw the wheels.

A pleasant half hour of grinding and drilling will fix that .

At least! HAHAHA

The Polar Lights funny car kits have them.  Those include two or three sets of front wheels, so you can still build the donor kit with one of the other sets.

Hey Snake, I found two front wheels like these in my stash. If you PM your address, I can send you them. At least you’ll have the two fronts.

The PM system won't work for me here for some reason. Email me at: 

SnakeACP45 at aol dot com

Thanks! 

[Brutalform]

I tried that address, and I also added the @ and the period in place of dot.

Huh. It should work. (You're not in my spam folder, either.) Try it again, and make sure there's no extra spaces. 

It COULD be an AOL problem. Yesterday it was unable to load my mail for several hours (happens from time to time), but at least then it was telling me it had a problem.

What you sent for an email address isn’t even in the correct format. I even tried to convert it to a “ @aol.com” to no avail. Maybe try to PM me on the forum another time?

I know it's not in the correct format. I do it that way to keep spambots from picking up my email, which they do. You have reformatted it correctly. I don't know what the problem is unless it's a temporary problem with AOL mail. I'll keep checking my inbox and spam folder. 

The PM system here doesn't work for me. Won't let me send, won't let me receive. Been that way for a while now. I have problems on another board, too; on a couple other boards the PM system works fine. First World Problems.

The MPC and AMT Halibrand Sprint spindle mount front wheels are not nearly as accurate as the JO-HAN version:
