Does anyone know what size they are? One of mine has split and I need some new ones, but don't really want to have to go out and buy the whole landing gear assembly just for them  -Fuzzy |

You can buy wheel collets from ebay or giant-cod for a pittance. I think the LG wire is 6mm thick, so a 6mm hole in the collet should fit (anyone feel free to jump in if I'm wrong!)
I'll go see if I can find my micrometer, post back when I find it.

Thanks toff, I'll have a look. I think the wire's 2.5mm thick, I tried a 2.5mm hole when making some ski's and it fit really snugly

if you use 2.5mm nyloc nuts they're perfect

Local hardware store sold me some small nuts that didn't fit so I had some 5mm plastic spacing washers, using a power drill and a 3/32 bit made the perfect size hole to thread onto the wheel.
