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.

LIST OF CHANGES AND SERVICE INFORMATION
BULLETIN "A" - 2 Page No. 5 (6 pages) Date 20th April, 1942. TRACK AND SPROCKET CARRIER, UNIVERSAL, MARK I * ITEM 6* (Instructive - For immediate application) It has come to notice that difficulty has been experienced, and in some instances sprockets have been damaged as a result of "Crowding" of the track following the installation of new components. Some "Crowding" of the track will occur in all instances of complete track and sprocket installation. It is to be overcome by installing an extra link in the track until such time as both track and sprocket have been "run in". This will take between 50 and 100 miles and during this period the vehicle must be operated carefully, short turns being particularly avoided wherever possible. Proper meshing of the track and sprocket may be determined by close inspection at the initial point of contact of the track on the sprock- et when the vehicle is driven forward at as slow a pace as possible. Attention is also drawn to paragraph 7, page 186, of "Manual of Dri- ving and Maintenance for Mechanical Vehicles (Tracked) 1939" which deals with the subject "New Tracks". * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
