could you just add a steel plate in to join the two together?
it'll leave a gap in the tracks... bit it'll probably be ok? might be worth a try?
Yea I've already gotten it at max length, it's odd as there's 6x 5 link 1x 7 link 1x 6 link 2x 3 link 3x 1 link so it splits in 2x 26 link lengths (5/5/5/7/3/1 & 5/5/5/6/3/1/1) with the one with the 7 link being slightly shorter due to less extendable connections but previous owner said they fit however there no combination of the available links that would allow both to fit since they're a link short for each.
I think one of the 11" option would fit but it's finding a uk seller/2nd hand ones or somehow getting 2 sent over here

Probably too big of a gap for the side pieces to keep the tracks on/not puncture the 60psi tyre sidewall. Other than getting 2 links my other option is to drill out the rivets and make longer linking bars on several sections to make up the missing link but keep the side pieces close enough.

Have you had sidewall punctures in the past ?Yea I've already gotten it at max length, it's odd as there's 6x 5 link 1x 7 link 1x 6 link 2x 3 link 3x 1 link so it splits in 2x 26 link lengths (5/5/5/7/3/1 & 5/5/5/6/3/1/1) with the one with the 7 link being slightly shorter due to less extendable connections but previous owner said they fit however there no combination of the available links that would allow both to fit since they're a link short for each.

My tires have a thick added piece to the sidewall, horrible to mount even with the tire machine, as this makes it very stiff.

Not passing half an hour to knock up but gives good consistant results.I particularly like the filing jig
At those prices why not copy , plasma cut and weld up then temper them your self . Perhaps do half a dozen or so and maybe sell some ???Yea I've already gotten it at max length, it's odd as there's 6x 5 link 1x 7 link 1x 6 link 2x 3 link 3x 1 link so it splits in 2x 26 link lengths (5/5/5/7/3/1 & 5/5/5/6/3/1/1) with the one with the 7 link being slightly shorter due to less extendable connections but previous owner said they fit however there no combination of the available links that would allow both to fit since they're a link short for each.

I wanna minimise the chance of a puncture, the tyres are not brand new but still good and I worry if I leave a gap large enough that might be all it needs to get caught on a rock/log and twist the track pushing it far enough for the side pieces to puncture or pop the track off and damage something else.
Don't tempt me haha unfortunately they're pretty complicated forged pieces and by the time I have got the materials and made them up it'll be easier to just buy some. I'm gonna see what I can find in the uk but if I get nowhere I'll look at ordering from the us or drilling out the rivets and replacing links option.
Would be cheaper buying more links then smaller tyres if its possible to get them, I've found 2 used for £180 on ebay however my father pointed out that if I put all the connecting link plates end to and make up a new plate to join it's only increasing the gap by 2cm but over the 6/7 connecting links it makes up the missing section and all I need is some more bolts.

I started doing the curtains for the boat, but made a complete hash of it. It looks like I have forgotten everything I onew.
