I know a lot of people are put off of making up a set of track cables and settle for the plastic abortions that come with the Tank,
The aftermarket ready made metal cables come with loops already installed but the cable is too long which is why you need to cut off the loops and make your own.
The loops which are usually seen as the biggest challenge are easily made if you slide a length of heat shrink tube down the cable then form the loop by pushing the free end of the cable into the heat shrink alongside the cable already in the tube with a couple of mm sticking out behind,
Now slide the heat shrink up the cable until you are happy with the size of the loop and apply heat to the heat shrink and the job is done and repeat for the other end of the track cable.

sells track cables which come with instructions.
A pack of various sizes of heat shrink tube can be found on E-Bay for pennies,
They can be easily cut to size and have a multitude of uses.
There were various patterns of Track cables on the Tiger 1 used by the German Army,
a little research can identify the year the particular pattern was in service.
