While assembling an older Mantua aluminum car, I found I was missing one of the bolster spacers. Hmm...what can I use for that?
In my many piles of junk bits I have many trashed plastic wheelsets.
I pulled one off the axle and shaved the rim from the back.
A perfect fit. A coincidence? I think not!

Thanks for sharing! I'm looking for similar for truck rebuilds and will give this a shot.

What a dope!
My post should have read "shaved the rim off the front" face of the wheel.
Must read and think before hitting enter.
