thanks shaun but the guys a little over the top on his price, although the track looks to be in great condition it would have to come with the bren gun carrier attatched for me to part with £8k. having said that, if there really is enough track for 3 carriers and you can batter him down to £6k then it stacks up.
if anyone needs track and is interested then maybe we could club together and get some, i only need about 200 links to get enough for my t16 so let me know if you're interested i also noticed he had the fabricated and not cast idler assemblies ![]() cheers rick

It's pretty long, it goes through the fence, it must have wheels of some sort to?

I didnt think it was too bad the average for full track is 3k and if there is three full sets plus drive axle wheels etc ? still a lot of money but.....

Does look expensive.
If you look, the made up chassis is much narrower than a UC so the T16 rear axle would only be good for the diff and brake bands. Also if you look at the distance from drive sprocket to idler there is either simple skids to guide the track or a series of small wheels, can't be normal UC road wheels, perhaps a series of rack return rollers. T16s are what...180ish tracks links per side. I read the advert as enough track for three assemblies, i.e one and a half carriers worth, but looking at the indoors and outside photos there looks to be at least enough for two carriers. NB: I think I was given the heads up about these tracks last year, there is a saw mill in Wiltshire who have a similar setup which they use to move timber into the building, with the openable fence panel wall etc... I was also told that the mill owner 'knew they were very valuable', possibly the same place.

I've heard there are 2 wheels per side, it has to all be taken away inc chassis and the price is pretty firm. He's knows what they're worth and is happy to hold onto them until his price is met......it's in Yeovil. perhaps if a few folks grouped together and the price could come down a bit!!!!!
