I have contact info for a couple of legit armor dealers in western Europe that I can dig up you like.

Contact the Kevin Wheatcroft Collection in UK. He has an unbelievable array of historic vehicles in a range of reconstruction.

Evening Terry,

As they say, been there done that but no real help. I think it's probably because it's a recreation and not an original. Thanks anyway.

Regards,

Jonathan

Jonathan.

Do you have any photos you could post showing the outer and inner faces of the original track links?

Apart from the pitch, it looks to have an evolutionary connection to Bren carrier track.

You are nearly correct, well according the book "tracks for fighting vehicles" published by the school of tank technology in 1944. It states that the Panzer ll track link was developed and copied from the skeleton link of the "Light Dragon mk1.

Default consider new tracks

have you considered using the new production universal carrier tracks that are currently available? May be easier to modify gears drive and road wheels than make tracks?
