Yeah, already onto it.
What I have also been up to, is trying to get hold of a huge stack of
sweeper bristles. I have decided that it will probably be easier to go
straight for the sweeper brush itself.
This is proving to be pretty troublesome and
headachey because I don't know anything about what I am searching for.
What I
do know:
Three B Brush Manufacturing Co.
http://www.threebbrush.com/gutter_brooms_oil_tempered.htm
Gutter brooms and oil tempered wire
They also stock cylinder brush replacement wafers.
Sweeper brands:
- Code: Select all
Aaplex MB Cruiser Tymco Elgin
Murphy Vac-all Johnston Schwarze
Wayne FMC Mobil Sweeprite Catlon
Here is another brush company, but I'm not sure that these
will be of any use:
http://www.rtsmetalwerks.com/broom-main.htm
I am also trying to find out (if it will work out cheaper) who supplies
the wire to the manufacturers.
I have sort of figured (without metal knowledge) that I should be looking
for 'Cold rolled, hard tempered, flat wire' or stainless steel, would this
be right?
A search for a metal manufacturing company gives me:
Onesteel.
http://www.onesteel.com/products.asp?action=quickfind&quickfind=product&id=251
I think that 'Baletite' may be what I want, but I am not sure.
I might go to the council depot and have a closer look at their sweepers
maybe, but from what I can gather, it is contracted out to owner/operators.
Anyway Aussies, if you can help, please do because you know all these
other guys are pointing and laughing at us poor guys picking with
banana peels and chicken bones.
If anyone knows of a bulk load of bristles, brush or wafers, let me know
where to buy them and I will distribute them and we can have our own
'WILL SEND TO AUS ONLY' post, hahaha.
PS I'll let yous know if I get a bunch of Petersons, in the trade forum.
