Wondering if anyone knows where you can get the pulley wheel device used in the middle of a 2.5 metre Integra plastic curtain track?
Ours has completely disintegrated and cannot locate a supplier - not even the manufacturer's own site.
Link to picture:
There should be a solid "shaft" onto which the wheel fits. But it has almost entirely worn away and the remnant strip of plastic is not sufficient even to keep the wheel in place.
Time for a 3D printer?
Have you got a D-I-Y mind reading device? Exactly what I have been thinking all day. :-)
cant you make something out of sheet metal?

If, instead of using the rather old let me google that for you "joke", you had looked at the results of a google search, you might have found, as I already had:
Several of the suppliers listed on the manufacturer's site have gone bust and some if the sites don't exist. Several are very obviously not the sorts of places that stock individual spares. The manufacturer doesn't even list the part.
Well - today I sorted this.
Used a socket head screw. Drilled through the stump of the "axle". Pushed screw in and glued it in place. Then cut a little bit of the nozzle of a standard mastic cartridge (the thin bit at the end that usually gets thrown away). That fitted nicely onto the screw's thread and padded it out enough to act as a spindle to the wheel. Then sprayed it all with silicone spray - and the rest of the track.
The glue I used was Evo-Stik Serious Glue. Bought it some time ago as it was less expensive than the specialist glues for fixing rearview mirrors. Did that very well - except it took much longer to set, but that wasn't a problem. Since then has been very useful for lots of things - though damned if I can remember a single decent example now! Definitely will buy some more soon.
