I don't have exact measurements, but I guess I can go outside and get them. You will want to buy extra length...I bought a 6 foot piece. The thing is, since you are working with 1" square, you will not necessarily get the bend exactly where you want it, so expect to have about a half to a foot left over on each end. I heated with oxy acetylene, and once you have the area of the first bend red hot and bending, you start working your way down, keeping the radius even. When done, you cut off the excess form each end.

I may have some extras of the brackets available if you have trouble finding them.

Default No rush: Bend Radii

Rob,
I'm not working on the Crook today so when you are out to your carrier next, no rush needed on the measurements! Thanks for the overall dimensions.
Regards, Richard

CTL 3238 Tool - track adjusting
Page 374 of FUC-03

Imagine how quickly the original shepherds crooks went to the scrap metal effort when replaced with the snail.
Not many 1941 MK-I*'s universal carriers about for that matter

not many for sure

incidentally I have a spare crook but the cost of shipping just makes it impractical in my opinion but if someone wants to pay then I will ship it. the crook is £33.

lynn I had it with me at war and peace

i'll ship it if you want but it would make more sense to have one made locally using the cad file from my profiler which I have hidden in my emails somewhere !
