They are basically a 'barrel' with a hole in the middle.

Dimensions:

Height: .062"
Dia: .079"
Hole: .043"

In HO that scales to:

Height: 5-25/64"
Dia: 6-7/8"
Hole: 3-47/64"

Off the top of my head ..

in HO that 3-47/64" hole dia is only .234" over the nominal size for 3" pipe .. some kind of 'collar' for fitting maybe ..

Some VERY heavy duty rollers for 'some kinda' machine ..

and ideas?
 
Everytime I go to Micheals craft store I buy the smallest beads I can find, plus grommets, brads, string, straps, red & white stick on beads & lots of other stuff. I used a small metal grommet for a headlite mount on 1 of my engines. I also used some tiny beads for ditchlite housings.
