Hi, Gazza!
Oooo, I've heard of those style of trax, but have never used them myself.
My experience with other types of link trax leads me to suggest ditching the jig. They've only been a hindrance in my experience (except for ModelKasten's Type 74 set).
I don't think you need to glue them once you bend them closed, unless you're gonna "vroom vroom" the kit around on the carpet! Should be strong enough without gluing.
Try a few and see if they are strong enough for your needs.
