old style steel wheelbarrow wheel w axle - source?

[jim]

does anyone know if and where you can still get new steel wheels for old builder's barras?

(i.e. the type with the 1" axle running through that goes into bearing housings each side, these bolted onto the "forks" of the barrow)

Mine has collapsed (rust) and all I'm being offered are plastic wheels or new inferior garden type barrows - at similar costs.....

thanks JIm
