Hi Andrew
Big fan of his, he does some very good how to vids as well
Shocking fit, how on earth that got out of the factory gates i'll never know:sad:
He is very good but what I really like is that he's not afraid to admit when he's got it wrong or is doing something for the first time. And as for the fit absolutely shocking.
So you are a rivet counter Bob oh my gawrd what next lol

The main factory at Alkett only used the bottom one.

Completed the link and length tracks on one side but
Made to the number of track links on the plans but track seemed to long, picture shows tracks with one less, may be a tad too tight now! The built in sag on the top is not enough in my opinion?
Had to use bluetac to hold the return rollars as the attachment pin is too short, also had to glue the drive sprocket as again pin to short and theres a second locating pin as well. Not impressed folks!

Thanks Paul and Chris, might have to add the link i removed??
Morning Graeme
I agree, but with the extra and its in the plans link it looks to loose. There is not enough moulded sag in the top run. Will have another look

Hi Steve, its held on by bluetac
Major problem is the lack of long enough rods on the drive sprocket and return rollars, had to glue the drive sprocket and it also has a small noddy on the back to locate it on the drive hub.
