Default pattens

This is how far i got.....

Took a NEW OLD STOCK track link to a patten makers left it with him he said a price for a wooden master link £1000 this is 10% larger due to shrinkage , casting the link isnt the problem they would cast them by the tonn thats the easy part the hard part is machining the holes do you make a jig and drill one hole at a time 2 holes per link, or do you get a multi head drill and do 5-7-10? still need a jig making. the costs of setting up is going to be major unless someone wins the lotto and wants to invest its not cost efective. we were looking at£10 per link minium then the track pins on top of that 167 links per side........
as for the wheels i have two made from neopreen look good and are hard wearing just a thort instead of rubber?
