If you listen you can here the tracks hitting the home made side skirts, that why they were flanged outwards so this would not happen. it only makes sense.

The previous owner of my carrier bolted a strip of tire tread under each fender to minimize the noise of the track slap...

Using a plank of hardwood might be a better idea? This will let the track glide along. Rubber will be "grabbed" by the track and may be torn off.

Cheers,

It is tread cut off of a worn tire...so rather "hard" rubber and the slight convex shape actually works quite well, and the track slides along very smoothly, even with the studs welded on my one set of track.
