I'm trying to get something like this to replace a damaged coaster on a sofa. Can anybody tell me where I might find such a part?

Try Googling "sofa castors".

Oh, I was probably mis-spelling it! Is that the correct term for these thingies?

Google's search is inconclusive - mostly a bunch of sofas for sale.

What I was really after was the name of some web-stores that sell this kind of component.

The castor looked brass in the pic, so I googled "brass sofa castor", loads of possible links to try, this was the first one that looked promising, looks like it has similar ones to the pic,

I'll leave you to try the others. I think you will struggle to get an exact match, might be easier to change all four.

Toolstation also do a brass castor, but the wheel is also brass.

Heiko had some good stuff like this:

http://www.heico-direct.co.uk/home/...rip-neck-castor-1-1/2-inch-(38mm)-with-socket

But how do they measure the size - it says: "Measurement of the Castor is taken from the height of the Wheel"

Do they just mean that the measurement is the same as the wheel's diameter? Or do you think they meant to say this is the additional hight provided when the caster is installed?
