You could buy some from Bedford...or make your own, if you know how to
work metal.

B&Q have a look around, i got some brown angle brackets i think they
were couple of quid for two, drilled the holes bigger to fit the axel,
applied griptape to the base of them, jobs a good one. strong as feck.
If not go into your technology department, show them a picture of what
you want to make and point to the welder with a keen smile on your face
😉

just go at your local welding/iron woking shop and get them to cut you
a
4*4 angle iron 4 or 5 inch long with a hole in it and you are all set
fo cheaper
than the ones on internet( in a welder/iron worker)🙂

same here, but i sorta made mine WAY hardcore. they look forged. its
sick. i cut a design out of the bottom of them with a cutting torch and
drilled tons of holes in the back for my weight issue, then i
bunnyhopped (like 2 feet first try!!!!!) and bent the axle so bad that
the plates went like 1/8" from the spokes ... bent it back, and rode it
nicely, then i tried a 360, almost did it and bent the axle again. you
want a 14mm axle if you can find one.

You could go to a welding shop and right out the demensions and get a
picture of them. And they should be able to make some real nice ones.

If you plan to do anything at all on the BC wheel then you need plates,
pegs don't cut it.

My dad welded everything, but the axle was a 1/4th so it didnt work, it
bent, though We after we make our giraffe (long term project) I'll try
another one with a 1/2 axle.
