A closer pic of the tracks. I still have to machine in two slots where the bolts go into the links. Only thing I'm stumped on is if I will turn down link pins from 3/16 to 1/8 edges. 1/8" to go into track links and the 3/16 for the middle to where the drive sprocket will catch. The problem I am having is in the production of them. That is just a lot of turning on the lathe!!! I might go with the idea of 1/8 pin with a spacer of o.d. 3/16 that I could loctite onto the 1/8 pin. Would save a tremendous amount of lathe time for me. They will be stainless whatever I do. Or to use 3/16 with a set screw in one of the links to keep pin in place. ?? What have any of you done??
