Richard, I think the "official" wartime tracks have some deep track grousers on them. I followed a weasel in my bren carrier at one of the winter battle of the Bulge reenactments here in Pennsylvania, and I was watching him chew up the ice. The same ice that my tracks were spinning on.
They may well be some post war rubber ones that don't use the grousers, but just be aware that the cleated ones are on a lot of them.

True.
The ideal would be a carrier  not even snobby enough to ask for Mk 1's only !

Thanks Hanno.
Will have a look see. I really really really miss my carrier. It's new owner has had it to numerous shows since buying it....keeps sending me pics of it which is great but stings at the same time. I am happy that it went to a good home though.

Richie,
For interest, here are links to the two weasel aftermarket track manufacturers. https://www.facebook.com/LibertyAutoRestoration/ http://www.staman.nl/ If you were to decide to restore a weasel and fit Staman tracks, could I suggest that you ring Tony at Axholm signs and gauge his opinion on both owning a weasel and the rubber track system. I don't think Liberty are making their tracks nowadays, but if they were, you would need to take a second mortgage out on your house to pay for them and the shipping from the USA to UK. As an example, back in 2013 my LAR tracks cost $9500USD plus shipping. Good luck with your final vehicle choice although as an added incentive, weasels do float if you are nautically inclined . Just out of interest, will a carrier float without added buoyancy?Cheers John W.
