Fabricating tracks completely from scratch for a homemade tracked amphibious vehicle. The track design is very simple. It consists of custom made steel cleats made out of angle iron and round bar and all cleats bolted on two strips of rubbery conveyor belt. I really don't need to worry about the pitch of the cleats since I don't use any drive cogs which teeth they have to match. The tracks will be driven by rubber tires by friction. There is a small lip on the cleat also to better the bite into the tire tread and avoid slippage. Custom bender had to be made for bending the track guides. Also a couple of jigs for welding were constructed.
