Hello all
Many thanks to all contributors about this conversation.
Brilliant work from vint-mow and LRT about 3D printing.

The whole point about 3D printing is to make production of parts cheaper.
As Gadge points out, these wheels are likely NOS reproductions.

The technology is in place. We just haven't reached a fair value yet.
Silly prices are being asked for these Victa wheels, and even sillier
prices for 3D printing services.

Many thanks to LRT for his research on this.

I have a dream ...
That restores of lawnmowers may preserve these old machines economically.

I might add - I feel there is no problem with reproduction parts -
provided that is recorded as part of the provenance of the particular machine,
and they are of an equivalent quality - or better!

Consider the possibilities of Direct Metal Laser Printing.
I have no doubt this technology can be applied to plastics.
