Thiokol 4T series track pitch?

nobody else has a 4T series thiokol ?
i do, but am not sure what "track pitch" is? and i bet i am not the only one.
OK sorry pitch is the same as if you were to measure on your track from center of one cleat to the next, and its good to check several to make sure it does not vary most will run between 3.75"-4.5" but somewhere in there
and also would need to know which sprocket you have on your machine. they used two different ones one was like a 1200 thiokol and the other is bigger
Allow me to provide additional background for this pursuit of the mystical pitch ...here is a summary of sprockets for 4T/6's...
The one that the Boggie-man is looking for is the big-ass-phat one (ok, on the mind from my last post), on the far right.
If someone has this...great... I have a few T's with this sprocket but they are in my western underground bunker so raising the security forces there takes time...
So, I thought the track pitch may be able to be calculated from the sprocket but this is not the case...it must be pulled directly from the grousers on the track.
Anyone got this one readily available? If not, I can raise the Defcon level to open up Norad.... gonna cost you boggie... this 4T sprocket is more rare...more phat...more special...more!

I will check and report back. I have the larger sprockets, btw iam looking for a place that re-covers them. I called fall-line last week and they cannot do the larger ones witout making a mold. I was thinking of making a mold and sending it with the sprockets? Any ideas?

The track pitch on mine is 4.75 in. Any one got ant 4t sprockets for sale?
thiokol2track's sprocket looks like the sproket on my 59 thiokol trackmaster 4vl. the pitch is 5 inches. I've rebuilt both tracks with that pitch. the trackmaster runs find on the rebuilt sprokets. I used a homemade jig like fogtender made but I made mind out of sheet metal.
ok, I measured the track rolled up ,I can go along the 5 inch pitch if i measure the sprocket. nikadog, did they just use rubber on your sprockets, and is there a seam wher they started and stopped with the rubber or is it moulded??
there is a starting and stopping point on the sproket. The new rubber was vulcanized and glue to the sproket with a jig and clamps. Sorry that I don't have a close up picture to see.
I'm going up to the mountains with the cat soon I'll take some pictures if you want them.
