Hi Eric,


I wonder if any of your tracks will fit a Conrad Fiat Allis 41B Dozer - 1/50 ? If not what do you think it would take ?

Thank you in advance Eric.

Sorry for the rather crude mock up, my HD41 was in pieces, in the process of being repainted/rebuilt. but it appears that yes the tracks will fit the dozer, It fits the front roller nicely riding on the outside flange. however minor modification will be needed for the rear roller because the outer flange is wider than the one on the front roller. should be pretty easy because the rollers are plastic.
