fesm_ndt Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Spotted this in the middle of nowhere at a place called Tilmouth Well really off the beaten track...I would bet they don't know what their footpath is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I was shown a photo once of a low garden 'fence' made from overlapping carrier sprockets, quite a number of them. It was allegedly well know to all the carrier owners in the area and as the guy was not interested in selling his fence, it got a bit shorter from time to time. I wonder what would be a fair swap for that carrier track ? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 You would need to check width as Aussie LP Carrier track is wider between the horns than British and Canadian Carrier track. regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
