That turned into a debacle due to the cables being joined with a clamp or something instead of being contiguous. Supposedly the tracks broke easily. Not sure how many they made.

Don, one of my tracks was supplied by Southern Parts, the stamp on it says it was made in Tampa by the Pioneer Tire Co. I have been told that it's basically a recap.

Southern parts went out many years ago. That is where Gary Hebding acquired a lot of his inventory of NOS parts.
