Contact John from Fresno. I believe he as rubber pads that fit early D2s.
I purchased a set from him , work grate . Also makes the track a little taller so I get about 7mph out of my 5U balls out . Lol
Post up a pic. I'm curious to see what they look like.
[attachment=42571]rubber track pads 001.jpg[/attachment][attachment=42570]jimsshoes 005.jpg[/attachment] The first pic is how John gets them, surplus tank pads. He modifies them by drilling into a metal plate that is embedded in the rubber. He taps the holes and I think he uses 7/16 bolts to fit into the existing pad holes.
How do I contact this guy, you have a number, I am in ca.
Looks like they work great. Thanks for posting!
I am finishing a set right now that is going to Iowa for a D2. The same setup will fit CAT 15's, 22's and the early D2's. And there is no modification to your existing steel track shoe. You won't wear them out.
If anyone wants any other information, please email me at the address below.
I am not on here that much.
