Hi John
Tracks came in 168 links when new. After the 50 mile run in you were supposed to remove one link. Once a maximum of ten links have been removed the track is finished.
I suggest that you build up about 167 links and the fit them. See how much sag is on the track and re-adjust as needed.
I also suggest that you pick up one of the excellent workshop manuals from Alex Blair even if you aren't making a "proper" carrier.
