Guys,

I think a good alternative to all that work (I do casting and pattern making and its tough) would be ream out the old links a few thou to 13mm and use 1/2" case hardened pins. I've already made 300 of them and fabricated the jig to keep the reamer (extended reamer) going straight.

Made up a section of track with it to, it had all the properties needed flexability wise plus its TIGHT!

You can argue about "taking away meat" but I've seen carriers that ran on track that was worn right through at the sprocket wear spot. Theres a way to fix that to.
