Track adjusting T-16

ferret · #1 22-05-13, 15:44

Hi,

Is there a source for the track adjusting snail type tool for the T-16?

Is the adjuster the same as the ones used on Universal carriers?

Any help appreciated.

Regards Chris

John Bizal at Midwest military had these re-cast from an original a few years ago and lists them on his site. They are for the Universal Carrier....not sure the interchangeability with the T-16. I believe they run about $50.

I contacted Midwest, they don't know if they are the same as T-16.

Does anybody know if they are the same?

I have fitted T16 front idler brackets to universal carriers in the past, they fitted them ok so I see know reasons why they should not work on a T16.

Chris Wilkinson used to have a quantity. Not sure if his sons still have them.

I seem to remember that the hole was a different diameter on a T16 to a universal but I am probably wrong.

Thanks for the replies!

Does anyone have a definitive answer on whether they are the same?
