Yeah, I reckon I will need six to eight links (split for each side of course)

Bugger :-(

The thing deffo had 160 when I bought it, but if you look back to page one, look how tight the tracks are, even with rust taken into consideration.

I used a ratchet strap but a modified spring compressor did the last bit.

If you could borrow a few links, insert them and start driving - it won't be long before you'll be able to return them - with spares
