thanks Guys. I think I understand what to tell him to do, although I very much doubt he will want to go through all of this work. He has owned the Carrier for about 20 years from memory and bought it restored. He has not had any problems with it other than pulling the track off in reverse in soft mud whilst turning.
Anyway, we are confident that a different number of links both sides will cause the Carrier to track to one side? I recall a post on this subject some time ago.
Secondly, if he does quarter the tracks into equal lenght and mixes them from side to side , he will end up with a more even set of tracks?
then he will have to unrivet a link or two by hitting the end, and then after removing the link or links, he drills a hole in the old riveted pin and uses a washer and split pin.
Is this how you guys see the job? is there a recommended length that he should be aiming for before refitting them?
