Well just a heads up to all you Stuart Light tank owners in Australia.
I am currently investigating overhauling the rubber block tracks. Would involve re~rubbering your old tracks and may be re~rubber bushing the track pins too.
Costs, time frame etc is still up in the air and will be a while. Of cause the more preparation you do prior the cheaper it would be. eg:- breaking down to individual blocks, removeing the old rubber and de~rusting.
But if you might be interested or know some one who may be interested let me know as the more that want it done the more viable the exercise becomes.
I am aware that there is some one in the US does it but the cost of sending 4 ton of track return shipping to the US plus the refurbishment costs make it totaly un viable for us down under.
