[Jon Tofte]

Some 8-inch wheels with 3D printed "Chuck's Inserts" I would lke to use for this Build.

Samuel,
Those look GREAT! What is the story on the actual wheels? Looking at the tread, they don't look like the thin plastic Weber ones - at least from that era.

 

[Samuel]

Jon,
The wheels are the Weber Wheels that come on the Master Touch and and yes those are the more durable rubber ones. I got the wheels from someone that gifted me them in the process of a trade. I just put a custom insert on them to make them appear to look like the old style. I got the inserts on Etsy. I have not tried them on the shaft of the Silver C but I am hoping they will fit.

 

[Samuel]

That platinum has the dropsies really bad.

I know you stated the Platinum had the dropsies, but you know the more I I look at the Weber C black frame, I tend to like it because the shelves do not have the drop problem.

 

[Bruce]

Yes, but they have the red cancer problem. It may not be as much of an issue in Texas as it is up north here. The dropsies are fixable.

 

[Samuel]

This Silver C with a Platinum Shelf is nice touch.

 

[Bruce]

They should put a swing table on the right side as well

 

[Samuel]

8 in Wheel with 3D insert fit perfectly.

 

[Samuel]

Some Firebox Before's ...

 

[Samuel]

Nice surprise...

At least you can still get those if you need to.

 

[Samuel]

Probably going to go with a different lid but the same style, because of the fade, but going to restore it anyways so at least I will have the sides done already.

Lid Befores...

 

[Bruce]

Yah, that weber fade is rough, but the rest is fixable. And it is one of the Blackout editions.

 

[Samuel]

Found some OEM Black Grill Knobs in my stash to replace the melted ones.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Perfect knobs - glad you had those.

I have said it already, but those "black out" very last Silvers are among my very favorite Webers. I had one for years. They combine the classic Weber design with some modern touches, especially with the black trim.

I hope you go all out on that one, Samuel!

 

[Bruce]

Yah, I should probably do up another batch of knobs and handles with the RIT dye. I am pretty short on good handles to do however. Oh, but wait, I think I have several Genesis 1000 handles I could do and they will fit most Silver B lids. I think those black out grills look good and help rehab sales.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Hey Bruce, let me see if I have the old handles, maybe I can get you some “stock”. Maybe swap for blackening a set of knobs?
I suppose the point is moot if I can‘t find handles.

 

[Samuel]

Bruce you mean this type of handle for this type of lid?

 

[Samuel]

Found a Donor lid hopefully, just waiting the owner to decide if he is going to give it up, before I begin restoring on the lid and firebox. In the meantime, I rearranged my deck with space for my Silver C to cook with when I am done.

 

[Bruce]

Samuel: Yah, those are one type of handle for the Silver Bs. But shipping them back and forth just isn't worth it. Check back with me this next summer. If I dye a bunch and have some spares, I might be able to spare a set.

The handles in my pics were mine, but I believe it was Timothy F. Lewis that was asking for a Set.
