I did consider this briefly, but then I realized that the butt-end seam between the two sections of track would now be near the centerline, right where the car experiences its highest loads. Combine that with the likelihood of getting a smooth joint there...... bearings probably wouldn't last a day.

<br>I've ordered the new track (murray's hadn't heard from me in a few weeks. wouldn't want them to worry), but I still haven't even explored what kind of job this is. I desperately hope that all those mouting screws don't have nuts inside the crossbar!
<br>
<br>besides.... I was getting sick of sailing every weekend. I needed a few weekends off to do yardwork!<br><br>
