The tracks that I had been working on were scaled down from the tracks off of the LifeTrac which was incorrect. Here I have drawn the component with the correct sizes for the track that will fit to the MicroTrac. I was unable to figure out how to include the dimensions for the holes; they are all 3/8" in diameter. The rebar pieces are all #2 (1/4").
I tested the rotation and it appears that even if the track components were both to rotate at a 45 degree angle they will still not interfere with each other. In the case of the tracks, they should never rotate that far.
The attachment/adjustment component should still work with this design. It will have to be redrawn to fit this new model.
While thinking about the adjusting and attaching I have wondered if it would be a good idea to have two or four points for adjustment similar to snow chains on large trucks.
