If you have the time and a very basic amount of skill, you could do as I did.
I used cold rolled 7/16 steel rod. I made a jig to set the rod to the correct length. Then using a torch and a hammer I made the required pins (330+) to completely re-pin a T16. It took me a few day labour (spread over the winter) but the end result was a "nail head" on each end of the pin. The track works well so far and once I get the project running properly, I will take it out for a good long drive to see how it lasts. I have no doubt that it will work for a long time to come. When compared to the factory pins it is not as "pretty" but very functional.
