We had a post a few days ago concerning Model Kasten vs. Fruil. I thought I would share a simple technique that I use for Fruils...
This is all I need to start-note the tailor pins (from Wal Mart about $1.00)
Two blocks joined-the pin is just long enough to poke thru the soft metal on the other side
Clip the pinhead off and you have a perfect track pin,protruding from both sides of the block
Continue assembly (I can do 84 blocks in twenty minutes) and you're ready for paint! FYI-the pins are the perfect interfernce fit, they will not fall out, but you may CA the ends if you wish (I don't).
These aftermarket tracks will add considerable weight to your suspension. Be sure and keep that in mind when assembling roadarms, idlers etc. The key is getting the tailoring pins from any sewing section of your local dept. store.
I hope this helps those of you who would like to try the aftermarket metak tracks.
