In preparation for the design of the 1/6 Universal Carrier suspension/wheels I urgently need some dimensions of standard 1/16 jagdpanther track in mms, particularly
width between spurs - needed for the width of the UC wheel
width of track - needed to work out the offset of the wheel from the side of the chassis
Ideally I am looking for the dimensions of the Heng Long plastic track but it should be the same for the metal versions.
Inside of the root of the guide horns - 12.2mm
Track width- 42mm
Guide horns are even from both edges of the track.
I have checked a set of Taigen metal, a set of H/L plastic off a tank, and a set of H/L plastic on a tank.
H/L plastic were 42 and 41mm wide respectively !
Your mileage may vary
Adam thanks for the offer but it's the 1/16 scale track size I have to work to. Now if you had the dimensions of the actual Universal Carrier wheel that would be truly fantastic.
I was surprised to see a Universal Carrier on a flatbed railway wagon at the National Railway Museum at Shildon, County Durham last summer. It is part of the Durham Light Infantry Museum collection.
