Dolly Parts?

I'm thinking of building a dolly similar in design to the Microdolly (www.microdolly.com). Particularly, I'd like to use the same sort of wheels that they use - it's a single wheel on every end and each wheel has a groove in the middle that hugs the track. Does anyone know a source for pre-fab wheels like this? Or, any suggestions on how to fashion my own?

Thanks a lot.

Hey Davdo I use this Dolly a lot in the Green screen studio, and while its great on a perfectly shooth floor, it doesn't shim well, and it comes off the track easily I've found that the skateboard wheel dolly works much much better. but if you want this type, I would recomend using rubber wheels, and use a drimel with both the drimle and wheel clamped down, (so the wheel rotates, and cut the grove in yourself.

I think rubber would hold better than the smooth plastic.

Sorry for stealing this thread real quick but it seemed like this thread was dead and didn't want to start a new one for a simple question
Anyway, i made the more typical dolly with the angle iron and skateboard wheels, and i have a problem where when i roll the dolly, the nuts slowly loosen after a couple goes back n forth
how can i keep the nuts in place without glueing them or something like that?
thanks
