Is there another alternative for tracks on a 365 other than stealing them off a 365 face shovel? Will any of the conrad tracks that they sell work with?

The 18mm Conrad tracks are a little wider, but would look ok (IMM). You might have to modify the sprocket and idler and you would need two sets to get the right length. At 38.00 a set you might want the front shovel (if you can find one) for the extra parts and ease of modification.

If you're not a stickler for authenticity, (the 365's normally having double grouser tracks, rather than triple) The Hitachi 450zx tracks are also 18mm, and fit on the norscot rollers with minor to the rollers modification, however for a 365 you'll need a third track to get a few extra links, (which in my case is never a problem! this is about half of the 450's in my shop)

I will gladly take a few of those off yours hands since it looks like you have an over stock Wink The hitachi tracks break very very easily though, are the face shovel as fragile? Thanks for the answers
