The photo shows the splice area where the outer bands are overlapped and the inner bands are butted up on the same grouser plate. The Type 2 track is shown with the plates being used on the outer bands.
PHOTO 3:
The Type 2 cross bars are zinc plated, the Type 3 cross bars are powder coated black. Shown in the picture is a totally rebuilt Type 2 track, with 56 grouser plates on the 2-1/4" - 4-1/2" grouser pitch.

In this picture, we are using standard hex bolt heads that do touch the edge of the drive sprocket. A button headed bolt will give a little more clearance. As of March 10, 2005, I have put about 50 miles on this track, and I am very well pleased. Runs smooth, with very little snow buildup.
PHOTO 5:
The best way that I found to splice a completely "broken" track, using 2 ratcheting straps to suck the two parts together.

I wanted to send you some pictures of the new inner and outer bands on the tracks I bought from you a while back.  They have been on the weasel for about a year now or so, and the are holding up great. Didn’t drove a whole lot of miles, but playing a little with it, sharp corners, no problems… great machine.
I made a little compilation on YouTube about the restoration of my weasel. Here is the link: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=uePEC0OTuY8
