Trying to find black swivel and stationary casters for my Viper boxes.
Powdercoater explained coating the swivel casters could be problematic due to the grease inside where the bearings are. They'd need to be completely cleaned out and even then theres no guarantee all of it would get out. There are also a ton of pieces for the four sets of wheels for my four boxes and pcoating just the wheel yoke, brake kit, raceway and mounting plates has the potential to cost over $300.
So I'm trying to see if there are alternate options out there.
They have to have a 4" x 4/12" mounting plate with diagonal slots.
I've looked everywhere online and all I could find were these Cornwell casters.
Does anyone know anything about these, or what they are normally used on/for? They are supposedly rated at 350lbs each, but the swivel one looks like it's made of of plastic and the steel looks like considerably thinner than the Viper mounting plates.
Does anyone recognize them or have a part number you can share? I want to see if $260 for 4 sets shipped sounds reasonable and if they are durable enough.
I will have to either swap the wheels out with the Viper wheels or maybe that chrome Cornwell die cut cover is removable. I have several new Cornwell US made orange grip plier/wrench sets waiting for the new boxes, so I will have some Cornwell tools, but I guess it would still look wrong unless I pulled the Viper badges off the boxes.
Any info would be helpful.
