Replex tires.....

Post by Lieutenant146 » Sun Jun 02, 2019 8:29 pm

Does anyone know of a good source of replacement tires for the old Replex Mack pumpers? I have 2 fronts that are turning white & crumbling. I have tried a couple sellers on eBay for 1/43 tires/wheels, but nothing has fit.

There is a guy on eBay France that I have bought tires from before that fit these perfectly. I just looked quickly and could not find him, but periodically i get an email newsletter in French - I'll post it if I get it again. He makes replacements parts for French die cast.

My Sides crashtender has the same problem. Have to replace the tires also.
Try this seller. Maybe he has some tyres for you.

After months of searching, & purchasing tires/wheels from as far away as the Ukraine, I have what amounts to a pile of junk in a dust case. I know I will never touch another Replex product.

I (finally) came across a solution. IXO has a 1/43 International dump truck that was on sale & generously donated its rims & tires. They actually look right on the Replex Mack. Now if I could get a place to do the rest of the work....LOL.
