We all love taking our Carriers out for a drive; but that also means wear and tear is inevitable. And the last thing you want is a broken track during a great event or ride. This lot offers the perfect opportunity to secure a reliable spare set of tracks in advance.
This lot includes WWII-era tracks for Carriers, as used on Universal Carriers and Loyd Carriers. The tracks are in good condition and consist of 349 individual links. Factory-standard, each track consists of 168 links. After the break-in period, this is reduced to 167 links. So this lot includes enough links for two complete Universal Carrier tracks.

History
The Universal Carrier used narrow, lightweight steel tracks designed for speed, maneuverability, and low ground pressure. Each side consisted of 167-168 links, connected by steel pins and guided by twin horns. Produced by several wartime manufacturers, including Ford of Canada, these tracks became a defining feature of one of the most versatile Allied vehicles of WWII.
