tracks clipped every 3rd window=drivers

[3ft]

I bought a 144 inch ripsaw off ebay, thought I got a great deal. Got it out of the box and noticed it was only clipped every 3rd window. I have seen many post on here about this..and seems people are happy either way....My main question is can I run anti ratchet drivers with this. I "thought" that the anti ratchet drivers stick through the windows of the track? I could ...and probably am wrong, But can somebody explain this to me. Is the extrovert and anit ratchet the same thing? and do they work like a gear in the track window? thanks, Sounds like a pretty basic question, just never had to deal with this before.

That track won,t work unless you punch out the windows & install clips.

Yeah Turks right 3ft - You must have all your windows open.
Anti-ratchet drivers and extroverts are the same thing, like you said they work like a gear in the track windows. There are two differant styles that Im aware of: sprockets that you sandwich between your stock drivers, giving you 6 sprockets on your shaft. Or the kind like I just bought off Rich "wahl racing patented" style that let you pitch your stock drivers and just run 2 sprockets that actually drive your track with extrovert teeth through the windows and drive off of the drive lugs inside the track - IMO the latter are the way to go due to the less rotating mass, and lighter weight than 6 sprockets.

Thanks guys, that clears it up for me. Glad to hear that cutting windows isn't too hard...what is the best way to do that. Do I need to burn the edges before I install the clips?

I use normal knife (where you cut the blade when it's not sharp anymore) Use oil spray with it.
