Fixing a Matchbox toy

[Marshdweller]

I've recently dug an old matchbox digger out of the loft for my toddler son and something unfortunate has happened to the wheels. The tyres seem fine so I was hoping to simply replace the hubs and possibly the axle if it can't be avoided. Can anyone offer any tips? Is there anywhere online that might offer spare parts?

Thanks!

Grand prix models or spotmodel might have some hubs you could use. Measure them and give them a call you might be in luck.

If you go on eBay and search "Matchbox Muir Hill" you'll find its probably much easier and cheaper to keep the tyres and replace everything else.

Thanks both, I'll take your advice and see what I can do!
