I'm missing the bearing cam part of my True Track on the drivers side. it looks like it has been missing for a while. Do any of you know where I could find the parts to fabricate a replacement? I haven't noticed any issues with driving but I'm sure it helps with flexing in sharp turns.
Thanks,
John

messing the one you still have. Manny's B-track uses one approximately like
this:

But I'm guessing at dimensions. You'll have to determine those from the
other side.

Thanks Rick! That does give me a place to start. I've pulled off the part from the other side to measure. The spacer it uses is a about 2" long with about 1 3/8" hex with tapped holes on each end. One of the ends is tapped off center. That end is bolted to the bogie. The other end has the bearing bolted on and fits into the track that is bolted to the frame. The spacer looks a bit like this one, though the hex shape is almost the full length on mine. http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/true-track-2/p40227-pict000414.html
Is this spacer unique to any maker in particular?
I think I can piece together something to work from the link that Rick posted along with other parts from McMaster. Of course it would be easier to do it with the parts from the manufacturer.
Thanks!
