Dome centering wheels

Working on a DIY dome and am running into problems with my centering wheels. Does anyone have suggestions on a source of brackets, perhaps spring loaded, that can be used for the radial wheels.

Thanks,

Bill

Bill I don't know about spring loaded but I am planning on useing neumatic. I have found some 6" OD that the air can be adjusted in to center the dome while allowing for an uneven or out of round shape. You might look into this. Also if you only use three wheels it allows for a nonperfect shape.
