Does the company you are using have experience making tracks already? Doesn't necessarily have to be snowmobile track experience, just ...

UPDATE: I needed to verify (re-measure) a few dimensions and also ensure accuracy against shrinkage/stretch from the template track. With the help from a fellow JD sled enthusiast, I was able to confirm the integrity of the template. A few minor adjustments will need to be made to the preliminary dr...

Good job, Steve! Enjoy! Time to start another....that's how it goes!

If you're asking about the square speedo key/shaft, they are widely available. New breed has them.
