Remanufacturing T16 Rear Box and exhaust shroud

[Lynn Eades]

The idea is to mix and match so that you end up with two (stretched to take up the wear) tracks the same length, with the same number of links. Usually you would need joining pins that are slightly longer to allow for the split pin and washer. By the way I think the pins should be fitted so that the head is toward the hull.
I think david is correct for the Universal carrier, That a total of six links can be removed from the original 168, before the track is deemed to be "worn out"
I would have guessed the T16 , with the longer track, might be able to have more removed. I don't know.
Maybe (they) revised the allowable wear limit back to a lesser amount?
