Futon replacement bolts

I got a futon off freecycle :money:but one of the plastic rollers is broken . I can only find replacements on American websites (£10+ p&p). Does anyone know anywhere I can get a replacement online in UK?

The roller:

I take it that this roller is part of a castor assembly?

I suggest you look to replace the castor and perhaps the whole set of castors. This is more likely to be successful.

Thank you, but it is not part of a castor. It is just a roller on its own. I think it's a pretty standard futon design: all wood except for these 4 plastic rollers.

This roller must be part of a larger assembly - even if it only runs on a screw into the wood. I doubt that it sits loose. The point is not so much whether it is a roller or part of a castor as the fact that it has some context on the futon - it has to be more than a roller in isolation.

A photo of the roller in context would help no end in solving this by substitution rather than replacement.
