I have the correct track clamp and the are bloody usless! I find ratchet straps work well , it's only a light track and they give you a bit of flexibility for that last bit of alignment.

Hi Rich, As you have no replies, I think some of the guys have used 7/16" dia. (0.432"?) centerless ground 4140. Not sure about the 4140 grade.

Rich, I have about 100 pins sitting in molasses they have light to heavy pitting but can pick you out the best ones, non have holes for a split pin but can be drilled or a washer welded on the end. I can pick you out 6 or so and post but not until Tuesday.
Let me know. Kev.
