          I think you will have to make one yourself Davy or get someone like AngleRing to roll them up for you. I was talking to a guy doing a 9"Little Samson who cut his T section from an RSJ to get the correct internal radius and then had angle ring do the rolling.

          Did you see the post about a month ago on TT about the three 4"BB1s being built there are quite a few photos of a homemade roller there, think I also posted the link here.

          5mm is a bit thick for an 11"wheel or is it that big single on the mole drainer? Can you not weld a ring into a rolled strip like most do on engine wheels. Or another method is to cut a groove into your rim material and when rolled that traps the leg of the Tee. I can post some pictures of this method tomorrow as I don't have the link on my ipad

            Have a look at the 4 photos on the top of this page and the last few of the previous for the groove method.

            You could also look at Jon Rex as he does plans & parts for a ring roller, a modified top roller on that would allow tees to be done but not sure if its man enough, it takes enough effort to roll a bit of 5mm flat let alone a tee.

            Did just have a look at the mole drainer and assume its the two big wheels you are doing, I think built up would be best option

              Thank you Jason have just found a local who will do them for £30 each,3mm thick rim 5/16 tee.

              which i thought was a very reasonable price. they are for the moleplough,& yes i did see the mass production in Holland, with a workshop like that you can achieve anything.
