Default Quadtracks

Anyone know where I can get hold of quadtracks suitable for the back wheels of our BB1? They would need to be at least 21 feet/6.3m long and 24 inches/600mm wide. Many thanks in anticipation.

Thanks Sam, I will bear it in mind, I was hoping for 24" ones to save all the cutting.

When I was looking, they all seemed to be 30" as the common width and some as 36". Non I came across were 24" wide.
They are easy to cut to width, that is one of the better jobs. Drilling the bolt holes is the tricky job.

we have got a 24" but that is for "capetown" and yes drilling the holes is the worst part but there are ways.

24" are out there, saw a lovely set on Basil Gibbons diesel at Langport last year. Drilling the holes is done with a red hot iron spike.
