Just a minor update;
both track have been de-rusted and painted with kill-rust matt black paint. Now sitting on pallets.
Utilised the Jeep today to pull the hull forward in the workshop and installed the long brake actuating rods. Poor old Jeep didn't like the load very much, even in low range.
Just have to make more clevis pins to connect it up.

The plan is to roll the hull out of the workshop onto its tracks early Saturday with the help of a friend, and to have the tracks on and driving back into the workshop under its own power. Otherwise I have no way of getting it back into the workshop.....

Have had the engine running and tested the clutch and gear box, all is good and it picks up all gears. The gear lever appears to have a fair bit of movement across the gate, quite a sloppy operation. Not sure what/how it should be.

Will read the manual regarding track installation, but I anticipate laying the track out, pulling the BGC onto the rear 1/2 of track and then manually pulling the track back across the top of the suspension ( to the rear of the vehicle) and connecting it up, with the use of the track winch, between the sprocket and last road wheel. Install a pin and check tension.
