T16 restoration starts in earnest

[kevin powles]

Andrew,
I must say I had no real iterest in T16 Carriers until reading your thread, You are doing a thourgh job there. The track looks good with very little wear on the pads. If the track is worn on the pins or pin holes what you will find is they will not sit square on the sprockets/front idlers and you will get wheel scrub on the inner side of the rear trailing wheel, The sprockets will burr over in time too, but from what I can see your track looks good. I was going to get some track shot blasted but thought it might suffer in getting grit trapped in the pins?. Keep posting the large scale pictures.

Kevin.
