Ive been reading all these postings over the past little while and don't want to rain on anyones parade. However this has all been discoused a few times over a couple of years ago. The end result is price and figuring out the metalurgy. The design of the original track was for it to wear out and the holes became elongated. once youve removed so many links from the track it ment that the whole track is now garbage. Simply drilling out the track to fit a sleeve or new pin wont work as it will change the distance for fitting a sprocket.
Now don't get me wrong, I too would love to have proper new made tracks for my carrier. However its the flipping cost of them to be made that is so prohibitive. Also, say i find a place here to make then. At 1000 lbs for a set are you going to also now pay for shipping.
